NEW GOODS AND SPFCIALTIES IN RUBBER. 



BAILEYS "WONT SLIP " TIRi; BAND. 



THE Bailey '• Won't Slip " automobile tire cannot properly 

 be referred to as a new article in the trade, except that, 

 in the sense of the constant adaptation to new condi- 

 tions of the principle involved, whatever merit this form 

 of construction had in the beginning has been enhanced grad- 

 ually until the tire of to-day marks a wide advance from the lirst 



model manufactured 

 under the Bailey pat- 

 ent. The present il- 

 lustration refers to a 

 tire band made on the 

 " Won't Slip '■ prin- 

 ^^ ciple, and designed 

 ■ ^ I ^V to be cemented and 



«k \ I mf vulcanized to the 



^ \ V tread of any kind of 



^^ > y' automobile tire— de- 



>>.,^^ j^' tachable tires of all 



the standard models 

 or to the single tube tire. A means for the prevention of tires 

 from slipping has been a desideratum with the trade from the 

 date of the first introduction of rubber tires, and while many 

 suggestions have been made in the way of improvement upon 

 the smooth surface tire, none has proved more practical than 

 that of a series of circular studs covered by Mr. Bailey's patent. 

 It is not intended here, however, to go into detail regarding all 

 the merits of this feature, but to point to the convenience to the 

 trade of the arrangements made for supplying lire treads to 

 those who may not need to purchase new tires. The Bailey 

 patents have been taken up on royalty by several of the 

 leading manufacturers of tires, who are now in position to sup- 

 ply either " Won't Slip " tires complete or " Won't Slip " treads.

winter's pneumatic gun recoil pad. 



The use of this appliance renders " all guns gentleal the bull 

 end." It is a pure gum inside pad provided with an air cham- 

 ber, inflated hard or soft at will by means of a soft rubber tube. 



affording a perfect cushion ana i^km^ a^ all the recoil of the 

 gun. The laced leather cover protects the pneumatic pad and 

 presents a smooth surface, which does not interfere with bring- 

 ing the gun into quick position for aim and firing. The cush- 

 ion fits the gun like a glove and is light in weight and neat in 

 appearance. [The B. F. Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio.] 



GOODRICH CLINCHER TIRE TOOLS. 

 Tools for applying and detaching '• clincher " tires are so 

 indispensable to the motorist that new devices in this line de- 

 serve mention in connection with novelties in the rubber 

 branch proper. The series of tools illustrated here not only 

 is new but apparently of unusual merit. They reduce the ex- 

 penditure of both time and exertion necessary in dealing with 



x.-»<^^«««iiiMiM^ 





a tire and render such work in every way less disagreeable than 

 without their use. The ease of manipulation and quick etlec- 

 tiveness of these tools are due mainly to the curved ends and 

 lips of the steel prodders which are made to fit the edge of the 

 wheel rim and engage the tire in such a way that only a few 

 moves are required to force the tire on or off. A set of these 

 tools includes four pieces illustrated in the following order, 

 counting from the top: (i) Katcliet wrench, (2) small prodder, 

 (3) large prodder, and (4) wheelbrace. [The B. F. Goodrich 

 Co., Akron, Ohio.] 



" NOAIR " NON LEAKABLE STOPPERS. 

 This new rubber stopper possesses many advantages, due to 



the (act that it closes the bottle hermetically. With its use 



there can be no waste while 

 the stopper is in position 

 and no annoyance such as 

 from leakage in trunks 

 while traveling, and the 

 like. It is also especially 

 desirable for household 

 use, as in medicine closets. 

 The contents of a bottle 

 with the " Noair " stopper 

 cannot evaporate or de- 

 teriorate. It is made of 

 pure rubber, specially 

 treated with a view to not 

 afTecting any liquid injur- 

 iously. It is made in six 

 sizes, with tapering plug, so 

 that a wide range of bottles 



can be fitted, maroon color, and packed in neat boxes, contain. 



ing a gross each. [New York Belting and Packing Co., Limited.] 



"p. AND W." RUBBER PRESERVATIVE. 



A r certain important exhibitions of railway supplies of late 

 no small attention has been attracted to a material designed to 

 prevent the cracking of rubber goods and the deterioration due 

 to climatic changes and the like, especially where vibration is 

 pronounced, as in the case of air brake and pneumatic tool hose- 

 The material referred to is known as the " P. and W." rubber
