Better Than Laboratory Experiments. 



Mr. Henry C. Pearson, Editor The India Rubber World, New 

 York.— Dear Mr. Pearson : - - - In my capacity as Chemist for the — 

 Rubber Manufacturing Co., I have occasion at different times to use 

 your book "Crude Rubber and Compounding Ingredients," as a refer- 

 ence, and I find that tlie information it contains is taken from actual 

 experience with large rubber manufacturers, which information is more 

 valuable than it is possible to get in laboratory experiments. I keep 

 your book at hand for such reference. Very sincerely yours,

Chemist, 



A Rubber Man's Library. 



The record formed by the set of fifteen bound volumes comprising 

 the issues of this Journal since 1889 is unquestionably the fullest and 

 most complete history of the India-rubber and allied trades, not only 

 within the period named, but in the past, since many articles have been 

 published in relation to the beginnings of the rubber interest. This set 

 of volumes, therefore, is essentially a rubber man's library of the highest 

 value. 



^oand Volumes. 



The number of India Rubber World subscribers who regularly 

 have the issues bound up for permanent reference becomes greater 

 every year, and, if desired, orders for such binding will be received at 

 this office. The publishers also carry in stock yearly volumes, neatly 

 and durably bound, up to and including the publication year ending 

 September i, I904, which volumes will be sent prepaid to any address 

 at S5 each. 



"Crude Rubber and Compounding Ingredients." 



The manager of an important rubber factory says : " I use this book 

 almost every day in my factory, and frequently many times a day. It is 

 the best book, in a practical sense, that the rubber trade possesses." 



On Seeing a Sample Copy. 



" We received a copy of The India Rubber World. We certainly 

 are very much interested in the paper, and enclose you herewith check 

 for three dollars, for one year's subscription." 



T'wo Back Numbers Wanted. 



The Publishers are desirous of obtaining a few copies each of the is- 

 sues of The India Rubber World for October, 1903 and January, 

 1904, in as good condition as possible. Twenty-five cents per copy 

 will be paid — so long as the need for copies exists — either in cash or 

 extending the accounts of subscribers. 



Perused 'with Great Interest. 



To THE Editor of The India Rubber World : - - - I take this 

 opportunity of expressing our high opinion of your Journal, which we 

 peruse with great interest on its arrival here monthly. Yours faithfully, 



r. b. black.

" 'Best Informed and Most (Authoritative. " 



[From " La Jlnta Planthk," Chicago.] 

 This issue of the Planter contains a number of articles taken from 

 The India Rubber World, now in its fifteenth year, and recognized 

 by every one interested in rubber in any way, as the leading publication 

 in this trade. The information given to its readers can be absolutely 

 relied upon. Its Editor has a skilled and practical knowledge of the 

 manufacturing side of the business, and in recent years has, at his own 

 expense, covered a large portion of the world, so that he might be able 

 to give his readers facts in regard to the production of the raw material 

 on cultivated estates. We have no interest in The India Rubber 

 World, except as the best informed and most authoritative journal of 



that trade published in this country, but it would be well worth the while 

 of our investors to become its regular readers. 



Helpful to a Salesman. 



To The India Rubber World — Gentlemen ; We enclose our formal 

 order for copies of The India Rubber World for December, 1903, 

 and January and February, 1904. You may be interested to know that 

 your articles on Air lirake I lose have attracted the favorable notice of 

 one of our salesmen, who wishes to bring the same before the representa- 

 tives of the railroad trade with which he comes in contact. Thanking 

 you for your early attention to our request, Yours very truly, 



May 24, i<;04. 



"A Foolish Book." 



X CERTAIN rubber man — not a practical manufacturer, but very suc- 

 cessful in the selling end of the business — characterized " Crude Rubber 

 and Compounding Ingredients" as "foolish." When pressed for a 

 more specific criticism, he said that it lacked imagination — an uninten- 

 tional compliment. Since his pronunciamento, however, the practical 

 men in his factory have worn out two copies of the book, and have now 

 purchased a third.
