(A Good Record (or c/lpril. 



The number of bona fide cash subscriptions added to the list of The 

 India Ruuber World during April, iqo5, was larger than in any pre- 

 ceding month, and this without any unusual effort having been made to 

 extend the list. There are some suspensions from the list every month, 

 of course, but the net increase during April was exceptionally large. 

 Besides, it included representatives of every branch of the India-rubber 

 interest — manufacturers, jobbers, dealers, and planters — and we have 

 had to record new addresses on every continent. These facts are men- 

 tioned, not in any spirit of boastfulness, but as a matter which may in- 

 terest the advertisers in this Journal.

" Abundance of Interesting Information. " 



The Para journal Fulha do Norle, in quoting some lines from this 

 Journal, mentions their appearance •' in The India Ruuber World, 

 the excellent New York periodical dealing exclusively with rubber in its 

 various forms and applications, and offering a great abundance of inter- 

 esting information." 



Better Than Laboratory Experiments. 



Mr. Henry C. Pearson, Editor The India Rubber World, New 

 York. — £>far Mr. Pearson : - - - In my capacity as Chemist for the 



Rubber Manufacturing Co., I have occasion at different times 



to use your book " Crude Rubber and Compounding Ingredients " as a 

 reference, and I find that the information it contains is taken from actual 

 experience with large rubber manufacturers, which information is more 

 valuable than it is possible to get in laboratory experiments. I keep 

 your book at hand for such reference. Very sincerely yours.

The Same Here. 



The similarity of objects of The India Rubber World— in a cer- 

 tain sense — with that of an esteemed St. Louis contemporary, prompts 

 us to lift from the columns of that journal into our own, the followirg 

 paragraph, the spirit of which is commended to our readers : 



" The province of The Sportini; Goods Dealer is to advance the in- 

 terests of trade by bringing manufacturer, jobber, and dealer in closer 



touch and acquaintance. The purpose of each is to provide for the 

 needs of the customer, and not only to meet but to anticipate them, for 

 the character of the demand varies with the season. The greatest meas- 

 ure of success comes to the merchant who is never found unprepared to 

 supply his patron-.' requirements. The time has been when customers 

 were content with an expressed willingness to 'rush 'an order for de- 

 sired goods not carried in stock, but nowadays they are less easily satiB- 

 fied. If a merchant advertises ' complete lines and full stocks,' it is his 

 business to make these claims good, knowing that his competitors are 

 alert and watchful for the slightest opportunity to advance their own in- 

 terests. The rivalry is none the less keen because of its freedom from 

 personal enmity. Business is like a game of golf — if a player's ball 

 flies wide of the course, his opponent rejoices and aims his own next 

 stroke as accurately as he may, though success perhaps means defeat for 

 his dearest friend. Like golf, again, the charm which makes the drudg- 

 ery of business a never ending pleasure is a determination that every 

 stroke shall count, to miss no chances, and to win with plenty of margin 

 to spare."

A Rubber Man's Library. 



The record formed by the set of fifteen bound volumes comprising 

 the issues of this Journal since 1889 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. There is 

 also involved a vast amount of information of practical value to the 

 worker in rubber, in whatever branch. This set of volumes, therefore, 

 is essentially a rubber man's library of the highest value.
