RUBBERS AT THE BOSTON SHOE FAIR. 



Preparations have been completed for the opening at Boston, 

 on July I, of the First World's Shoe and Leather Fair, in a 

 building constructed for the purpose, on the Cambridge side 

 of the Charles river. This exhibition is not to be a fair in the 

 sense of a mere display, but in the original sense of a market 

 fair where buyers, and especially buyers, can come from a dis- 

 tance and examine in one place the goods of many sellers. The 

 United States Rubber Co. are entered as exhibitors — not with a 

 view to making a complete display of their various lines, which 

 would call for a great deal of space and involve much duplica- 

 tion — but rather of a few special features from their various 

 factories, including their line of export goods, colored goods, 

 tennis, and so on. They will pay some attention also to their 

 miscellaneous lines, such as clothing and druggists' sundries. 



The shoe machinery exhibit by the United Shoe Machinery 

 CO. will consist of a complete outfit of machines that will turn 

 out shoes every day of the exhibit. Leather-making machinery 

 will likewise be in operation.
