What a. %tbber Planter '^ead With Interest. 



To The India Rubber World — Genllemen : First permit me to 

 say that I am a regular subscriber to The India Rubber World, and 

 believe it to be generally as well edited a trade journal as I have ever 

 seen. I have been so well pleased, however, with several things in your 

 January number that I cannot refrain from writing you in regard to the 

 same. The editorial covering " The Natural Supply of Rubber " is cer- 

 tainly plain enough, so that no one will question your assertions along 

 that line any further, and your article entitled " .Small Beginnings of a 

 Coming (?) Great Industry" is certainly sufficient proof that you are 

 working for the general good of the rubber business, while the article in 

 reference to Mr. Edward V. Carey, giving his experiences, etc., is of 

 special interest to one engaged in the cultivation of rubber. 



Yours very truly, M. B. joHNSON.

We Do Try to Keep Informed. 



The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, published at Honolulu, Hawaii 

 territory, of January 26, said : 



The India Rubber World, a publication devoted to rubber inter- 

 ests, has written Mr. Hal! asking for samples of the Nahiku rubber, and 

 also for an article on rubber tree growth in Hawaii and adaptability of 

 the islands for rubber development. 



And this is a translation from the Para journal, Folha do jVorte, of 

 January 17 ; 



The India Rubber World, a standard organ, published in the in- 

 terest of the import and e.xport trade of crude and manufactured rubber 

 throughout the world, has, in view of the flattering reports which it has 

 received respecting the excellent quality of crude rubber manufactured 

 by use of " I'oselina," requested the distinguished manufacturer, Mr. \. 

 J. A. deMagelhaes, to send samples of this chemical preparation and of 

 the crude rubber manufactured by its aid. The letter referred to may 

 be read by all persons desiring to see it, at the " Nazareth " pharmacy. 



Compliment from a St. Louis Editor. 



" I wish to say that The India Rubber World is the only purely 

 trade paper reaching us that I read through, as a matter of interest apart 

 from business considerations. Rubber means nothing more to me than 

 any other material used in manufactures, but travel and exploration 

 were always my fads, and your magazine ' puts me next ' to present day 

 conditions in many faraway lands."

Articles on Tropical Planting Appreciated. 



To The India Rubber Publishing Co — Dear Sirs : In renewing 

 my subscription to The India Rubber World, I wish to express my 

 appreciation of the articles on tropical planting that have appeared in 

 The World during the past two years, and hope we may receive more 

 of them. Very truly youis, GEORGE WOOLSEY.

A Book that is Easy to Use. 



We have a letter in regard to Mr. Pearson s book, " Crude Rubber 

 and Compounding Ingredients," commending it for reasons given be- 

 low : 



" It is a perfect encyclopedia. I wish specially to compliment you on 

 the excellent arrangement of the matter. The comprehensive index at 

 the back and the alphabetical subdivision of many of the chapters make 

 it exceptionally convenient as a work of reference. To anyone who is 

 interested, even to a slight degree, in rubber manufacture, your book is 

 invaluable. I want to add that, while doubtless intended chiefly for a 

 book of reference, you have succeeded in making it exceedingly read- 

 able."
