When To Send In Ad'bertistng " Copy." 



OuK advertisers would confer a great favor upon the Publisher if, in 

 sending in "cipy" for changes, they would endeavor to do so as long 

 as possible in advance of the date of publication -which is the last day 

 of the month. We do not desire to fix any arbitrary rule as to the latest 

 dale in the month on which advertising copy will be received, for reasons 

 may develop, just before the printing of the paper, to make a change of 

 advertisement desirable. At the same lime it will add to the conven- 

 ience of the business office if those who intend sending in advertising 

 "copy" will consider, not the latest date on which it can be handled, 

 but the earliest date on which it can be furnished. Time should be 

 allowed for sending proofs to the advertiser.

The Lord Help Us. 



A BANK with international connections requests the opinion of Tiik 

 India RuimKK World with regard to the advisability of one of its 

 clients investing in bonds of the Amazonas (Brazil) loan of igo2. 



One of tile largest banks in New York has a client in New England 

 who is disposed to invest " millions" in Kenton's Artificial Rubber — an 

 English invention which was first exploited in i8q9, but has not yet set 

 the world on fire. 



Every mail brings to The India Rubber World letters regarding 

 the value of the securities of This, That, or the Other rubber plantation 

 company as an investment proposition. 



Where would The India Kiieber World stand if it should advise 

 favorably in regard to all the^e investments — and they should not result 

 so favorably to the investors? 



Three Copies For One Hcuse. 



One of the oldest and largest rubber manufacturing companies in 

 England wrote under date of July 21 ; 



" We are desirous of taking another copy of The India Rubber 

 WciKLD. commencing with the next issue, the subscription to run con- 

 currently with that of the two copies we are now getting, in order that 

 the three subscriptions may run out at the same time. Please let us 

 know your price for this, and we will remit the amount in due course. 

 The copy to be addressed to Mr. ." 



cA Helpful Government Bureau. 



The work of the Bureau of .Manufactures of the Department of Com- 

 merce and Labor at Washington was commended in the last India Rub- 

 ber World (see page 363) in connection with the valuable publication 

 entitled Daily Consular and Trade Kiports, designed to inform American 

 manufacturers and exporters in regard to business conditions abroad and 

 oppnriunities for the extension of business by American firms. The dis- 

 position of the director of this Bureau to render it of the utmost utility to 

 those for whose benefit it is maintained is further evidenced by a circu- 

 lar which is being sent to manufacturers geneially, inviting their coop- 

 eration in the establishment, in the Washington office, of an authentic and 

 up to date directory of American manufacturers, in a shape which will 

 enable the Bureau promptly to answer requests for information in regard 

 to American products for export, of whatever nature. The basis of this 

 system will be a comprehensive card index, in which will be recorded in 

 regard to each firm the information which the circular asks for. It is 

 intimated that the same information will be utilized in the creation of a

simiLir card index system in the principal consulates of the United 

 Slates, in case the necessary authority is granted by Congress. It may 

 be mentioned that already a number of consuls have of their own accord 

 begun keeping a list of .\mcrican products and details regarding them, 

 for the convenience of possible buyers in their respective districts, the 

 value of which has already been fully demonstrated. Manufacturers and 

 others desiring further information regarding this new movement can 

 obtain it from John M. Carson, Esq., chief of the Bureau of Manufac- 

 turer, at Washington. 



Results From cA Small cAd'berlisement. 



A 1 ERTAiN Brooklyn manufacturer who is a subscriber to THE India 



RuiiBRR World states : " I saw the advertisement of some two 



years ago and since that time have been using his goods to the extent of 

 $l50oayear." The advertisement to which reference was made is a [Tj 

 page card, costing ^50 a year. This in a good tip which might be di- 

 gested with profit by the skeptical. 



The Colombo Times of Ceylon reports the sale locally, about July 

 I, of 350 pounds of good Ceylon plantation rubber, from the Kalutara 

 district, at 5 15 rupees [rr$t 67] per pound, which constitutes a record 

 in the Colombo market. 



Contributed To The Success Of The Business. 



A RuBiiF.R minufacturer writes: 



" The India Rubber World has contributed largely to the success 

 of the rubber business at large, and has brought about the closer feeling 

 between the various manufacturers, which intimacy can be still further 

 increased, and we believe to do so would be better for the entire busi-

RUBBER LAND. 



5000 acres of the finest land in Mexico. This property was pur-

 therefore the very cream of the rubber belt and unsurpassed both in 

 soil and location. It fronts on a navigable river and is only a few 

 miles from the railroad. Will be sold at a very reasonable price, 

 and, to responsible persons, on very reasonable terms. This is a 

 chance for a man with some means to make a fortune from a planta- 

 tion company. Address R. M., care of " The India Rubber World."
