THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[April i, 1905. 



NEW TRADE PUBLICATIONS. 



THE Faultless Rubber Co. (Akron, Ohio) have issued 

 Catalogue No. 7 of their High Grade Rubber Sundries 

 and Specialties, which is even more attractive than any former 

 publication of this house. A number of additions have been 

 made to the company's line of products, which now include a 

 number of articles of toys and sporting goods, in addition to 

 what has become a very full line of druggists' sundries. Their 

 sponges ^fnd sponge goods are prominently displayed. The 

 illustrations are particularly good. [6"X9"— 48 pages.] 



The Whit.man & Barnes Manufacturing Co., (Chicago), 

 issue their Catalogue No. 57, embracing all the varied pro- 

 ducts, of which Mechanical Rubber Goods form only one de- 

 partment. The company have long been makers of agricul- 

 tural implements, hardware, and tools, to which they added 

 rubber goods a few years ago, in order to render them inde- 

 pendent of other factories in supplying the wants of their own 

 customers. The result has been the development of a general 

 trade in this branch. The rubber section of the new catalogue 

 embraces belting, packing, hose, mats, matting, valves, gaskets, 

 horseshoe pads, bicycle tires, grain drill tubes, fruit jar rings, 

 mold work, etc., indicating a widely varied output. [6_J^"X

 cally got up booklet, " The Goodrich Road," which is a compi- 

 lation of records made with the Goodrich clincher automobile 

 tires. [5" X 7". '6 pages.] ^=Another handsome booklet, 

 " Goodrich Tires on the Pacific Coast,'' relates particularly to

 complete, well arranged, and attractive looking catalogue of 

 Fire Hose and Fire Department Supplies. The manufacture 

 of fire hose is discussed at some length, including the details of

 enters. [sJs'xS ". 102 pages.] 



The St. Helens Cable Co., Limited (Warrington, Eng- 

 land), who have during the past few years entered extensively 

 in the manufacture of mechanical rubber goods, send us an il- 

 lustrated price list of Rubber Mats, Matting, Floor Tiling, etc. 

 [7X X9/4"- '2 pages], and another devoted to Rubber Tires for 

 Cabs, Carriages, and Motors \7M" /.9%". 12 pages], both of 

 which embrace a large variety of products. The tires listed are 

 of the solid type, while the mats are unusually attractive in 

 pattern. It is of interest to note that an extensive use is made 

 in these goods of " Dialite," a patented compound into which 

 a specially purified bitumen enters to an important extent, 

 The company produce also solid sheet rubber, washers, valves, 

 buffers, roller coverings, packings, and the like, in addition to 

 insulated wires and cables, in which latter class of work they 

 have been engaged since 1899.

 extensive business as manufacturers of druggists', chemists', and 

 perfumers' glassware, have developed a large trade in rubber 

 Druggists' Sundries. Their 1905 annual price list includes illus- 

 trations and prices of such rubber goods for every use for which 



a demand would be likely to be made upon a druggist, includ- 

 ing an extensive line of hard rubber combs. These rubber 

 goods are understood to be manufactured for the company by 

 some of the leading rubber houses of the country. {6}^" X 9"-

 porous rainproof finish, [6 x8>^ ". 70 pages.]
