THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[March i, 1905. 



when self deception was necessary, but the prediction that the 

 rubber cigar will ever come into common use is wholly without 

 basis. 



BATHING CAPS FOR DOLLS. 

 It is when winter has its strongest hold that supply houses 

 everywhere are laying in a stock of summer goods. Just how 



many of them carry doll's bath- 



"Ov^l J?*^''*^'^^^^^ '"K "-^P^ '* ^ question, but next 

 — -^"'-' -p;?-r?:>^A season's sales are already begin- 



ning; and it is pleasant to feel 

 that during the coming summer 

 no doll, even if she be without 

 wealth or kindred, need take her daily dip in the ocean with 

 her flaxen hair unprotected. The illustration shows the only 

 doll's bathing cap that the Four Hundred wear, and is manu- 

 factured by Parker, Stearns & Sutton. New York. 



" BENTON " PNEUMATIC GUN RECOIL PAD. 

 This new pad is composed of 66 cube shaped air cells each 

 independent of the other and hermetically sealed. It thus re- 

 tains the natural atmosphere; in other 

 words, it is a cushion of air and_ rubber 

 Mj^ j 1 that protects the user from injury caused 



nfi,^ j by recoil of the gun. While it is purely 



■ Y* ' pneumatic, as will be seen by the illustra- 



•^ I tion, at the same time the pad is not in- 



flated, and punctures or tears do not ma- 

 terially aflfect it. There are involved no 

 valves, no pumps, and no rubber tubing; 

 the pad is always ready for service and 

 cannot get out of order ; and it is referred 

 to as being made of a fine grade of rubber. It is the subject of 

 United States patent No. 779,461. [American Pneumatic 

 Cushion Co., No. 221 Canal street, New York.] 





NEW TRADE PUBLICATIONS. 



THE GuTTA Percha and Rubber Manufacturing Co. 

 (New York) signalize the beginning of their second half 

 century in the industry by the issue of their Catalogue No. 75, 

 devoted to Mechanical Rubber Goods. This catalogue, while 

 including all the staple lines of mechanicals, gives special 

 prominence to a number of articles which either are not in- 

 cluded at all in the catalogues of some other companies, or re- 

 ceive only scant mention in them. For example, the first item 

 is Vanner Belts, besides which elevator belting, conveyor belt- 

 ing ; air drill, brewers', oil, pneumatic, and divers' hose are 

 specially mentioned. The company's new vulcanized mosaic 

 multicolored Tiling leads in the very full department of Mats 

 and Matting, and, of course, the " Maltese Cross " brand of fire 

 hose has full attention. Fire hose accessories, rubber cov- 

 ered rolls, billiard cushions, and the like complete the list.

 Specialties, including "Torpedo-Asbestos" packing. "John
