THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[December i, 1904. 



NEW TRADE PUBLICATIONS. 



'T^YER Rubber Co. (Andover, Massachusetts) have issued 

 * under a 1904 copyright a new edition ot their very com- 

 plete illustrated catalogue and price list o( Druggists' Sundries 

 and Miscellaneous Rubber Goods, which was mentioned first 

 in The India Rubber World November i, 1902 (page 54). 

 The arrangement of the catalogue remains the same, which 

 will commend itself to those users of it who have become 

 accustomed to its make-up, but there are apparent various 

 changes in the list of goods, indicating the tendency of the 

 company to make its products conform to the changing de- 

 mands of the trade. Some of the new items listed are dental 

 dam, hospital blankets, and veterinary syringes. The illustra- 

 tions in this book are admirably executed, color printing being 

 introduced effectively to give an adequate idea of the appear- 

 ance of the goods described. [10" X 7>^"- 1 12 pages.] 



The Hohmann & Maurer Manufacturing Co. (Roch- 

 ester, New York) issue a brochure, "The Making of Ther- 

 mometers," with illustrations of various processes in this in- 

 dustry, which cannot fail to prove of interest to the practical 

 rubber man, in whose work so much depends upon the proper 

 registering and indication of differences of temperatuie. The 

 miking of a really accurate thermometer is shown to require 

 tiie greatest nicety of work, and it is due to such work that the 

 instruments manufactured by this firm have attained so high a 

 reputation. [_S'A'' X 7"- n pages. ]==The same firm send 

 us also an illustrated catalogue of Long Stem Thermometers, 

 adapted to use in various industries, including the leading 

 branches of the rubber manufacture, and especially in connec- 

 fon with vulcanizers of different types. Incidentally this 

 book, also, contains not a little matter of interest regarding the 

 requisites of a high grade thermometer and the means em- 

 ployed in the production of such interests. [6^^" X lojs". 42

MR. CUDAHY'S COMPANY OUT OF DOORS. 



ANEW YORK firm of brokers advise The India Rubber 

 World: "There has been trading on the Curb in the 

 shares of the Two Republics Chartered Co. at around 58. This 

 trading has been small, however, amounting to two or three 

 hundred shares a day, between Curb brokers who do not give 

 up their principals. We understand that the company's office 

 is at No. 52 Broadway, and beyond this we know nothing in re- 

 gard to the concern." The concern referred to is the latest 

 successor to the International Rubber and Trading Co., which, 

 in turn, succeeded the Para Rubber Plantation Co. — John 

 Cudahy, president— to which this Journal has devoted consid- 

 erable space hitherto. Trading on " the Curb " takes place in 

 the street, in front of the New York Stock Exchange, in shares 

 not recognized on the Exchange. The company's activity ap- 

 parently is still confined to trading in shares, instead of trading 

 in rubber.
