"Do Not Let Any Skip." 



To TiiK India Kuiii;i-.k \\'0Ki.n — Gtntlemfit: I have deposited in 

 tlie postoflice here, $7, Mexican silver, to be paid to you in its value 

 gold, in New York, in payment of bill enclosed. If it should be a 

 little short, please let me know, and I will send the balance to you, but 

 please do not let any numbers of TliK Wori d skip, as I am always very 

 interested in them. Very truly yours, r. A. (jUINBY.

A Book of Suggestions. 



The element of suggestiveness is something that no live manufacturer 

 should neglect. Busy men are apt to become so engrossed with the de- 

 tails of daily routine that they find time 

 for little else. They feel that if they 

 could only employ an alert, vigorous mind 

 to suggest, and suggest, and suggest — 

 good, bad, and indifferent, though the 

 suggestions might be — some of them 

 would be sure to be of value. Such help, 

 however, is rare ; indeed it is not in the 

 market. The next best thing, therefore, 

 is to put one's self in the way to do one's 

 own suggesting. In " Crude Rubber and 

 Compounding Ingredients" is found a 

 record of the experiments, the successes, 

 and failures of thousands of suggestions 

 by the best rubber men of the world, and 

 to read the book is to have them all, as it 

 were, at one's elbow, saying : " Why 

 don't you try this?" Or '.'My idea of 

 the compound you want is thus and so." 

 Or, " I use such an ingredient because it 

 gives this result," and so on ad itijinitum. 

 It is well worth the price of the book to 

 be able to summon such an array of ex- 

 perts from any part of the world at a mo- 

 ment's notice, and with no mileage costs 

 or consultation fees.=^Speaking of this 

 same book, a well known Rubber Superintendent recently said : " It 

 has more meat in it than all of the other books and pamphlets combined. 

 I use it constantly. It has been worth hundreds of dollars to me, it is so 

 suggestive." 



A Rubber Man's Library. 



The record formed by the set of fifteen bound volumes comprising 

 the issues of this Journal since 1S89 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. 



A Book on Rubber Planting. 



A RECENT visitor to the offices of this journal, interested in rubber 

 planting, was attracted by a set of bound volumes of The India Rub- 



c/1 Tire Superintendent Obtained by cAd'vertising . 



To The India Ruhber World — Gentlemen : Please discon- 

 tinue our ad in your " Want " columns, as we have had a great many 

 replies and have now procured a suitable party. Very truly yours,

i!ER World. On looking through some of them, and seeing the num- 

 ber of articles in relation to rubber culture, and noting their character, 

 he at once purchased those for the past two years, as likely to be of 

 great help to him. In answer to frequent inquiries for printed matter 

 on rubber planting, we are obliged to say that we knowof no other books 

 containing so much information on the subject as these same bound 

 volumes. 



Back Numbers Wanted. 



The Publishers are desirous of obtaining a few copies in good condi- 

 tion of The India Ruhher World for May and October 1903 and Jan- 

 uary 1904. Twenty-five cents per copy will be paid, either in cash or 

 extending the account of subscribers. 



A Con'venience for 'Business Men. 



The United States postofTice department announces that 

 hereafter persons or firms desiring to mail large numbers of 

 circulars or catalogues at one time will be allowed to do so 

 without stamps being attached to the same, by prepayment of 

 postage in money at the postoffice. In order to exercise this 

 privilege a permit must first be obtained by the person or firm, 

 whose name will thereafter be kept on record at the postoffice, 

 and each mailing must contain at least 2000 identical pieces. 

 Persons availing themselves of this privilege must have enve- 

 lopes prepared with a card printed on the same, in the place 

 usually occupied by the postage stamp, indicating that postage 

 has been " Paid in Money." It is expected that this new regu- 

 lation will prove a great convenience to houses mailing large 

 quantities of printed matter, and it is merely an extension of a 

 privilege which long has been enjoyed by publishers of news- 

 papers and periodicals.
