The Boston News Bureau stated (April 4) : " In respect to 

 the trouble in the Rubber Goods Manufacturing Co., it may be 

 stated that the matter has nothing to do with the trade, or 

 conditions, or earnings of the company. The trouble is that 

 this company, like many other industrials promoted from the 

 same source, kept its deposit in the wrong place, and when this 

 deposit was found not to be good as cash, it had to be regarded 

 as a loan and collateral secured. It is said that this collateral 

 may eventually make the whole deposit or loan account good." 



SOME WANTS OF THE RUBBER TRADE. 



[289] rj^ROM New York city: "If you have the address of 

 A some manufacturer of silk covered rubber tub- 

 ings for compressed air apparatus, we would be greatly obliged 

 to you for the same." 



[240] From an insulated wire factory : " Can you inform us 

 of any concern in the United States who is in a position to 

 make a fine quality of spread rubber sheet, and furnish it cut 

 in strips, say ^ inch or i inch wide?" 



[241] From a rubber clothing manufacturer : "Can you tell 

 me where I can buy powdered charcoal, such as is used for 

 dusting rubber surface clothing? " 



[242] From a rubber factory :" Can you give me the name 

 of any manufacturer of a machine for winding fiat wire on 

 hose ? " 



[243] " We are large users of rubber mending tissue. We 

 are looking for the lowest prices attainable on this article, on 

 which we can do a business of several thousand dollars an- 

 nually—either put up a yard in a package or in bulk on rolls." 



[244] From Boston : " Will you please inform us who are in 

 the English market, or any foreign market, for rubber mackin- 

 tosh cuttings ?" 



[245] From Ohio : " We have an inquiry from a party who 

 makes a business of climbing chimneys, church spires, and the 

 like, for a pair of rubber gloves or pads with suction cup in the 

 palm of the hand. Where can we get them ?"
