 OBITUARY. 



Jules Henri Spadone died on December 7 at San Fran- 

 cisco, California, where, for twenty years, he had been con- 

 nected with the Pacific coast branch of the Gutta Percha and 

 Rubber Manufacturing Co. Mr. Spadone was born in New 

 York city 40 years ago, his father, whose full name he took, 

 being a brother of Mr. Amadee Spadone, now president of ihe 

 Gutta Percha and Rubber company. The father of the de- 

 ceased was a soldier in the armies of the Union, in which he 

 won a record for bravery under General Grant. The son's taste 

 at first decided him upon a sea life, and it was while on a United 

 States school ship that he first saw San Francisco. Once there 

 he reconsidered his earlier determination, and connected him- 

 self with the rubber business in which his uncle was interested, 

 winning for himself a desirable position and a wide circle of 

 devoted friends. 



At a meeting of the San Francisco Rubber Trade, held in 

 the rooms of Manufacturers' and Producers' Association, De- 

 cember 9, 1902, the following resolution was unanimously 

 adopted : 



Resolved, That we siacerely regret the untimely death of our friend 

 Jules H. Spadone, who has been identified with and favorably known to 

 the Pacific coast rubber trade for twenty years. During that time he has 

 held reiponsible positions with honor, and been the direct representaiive 

 of one of the largest rubber manufacturing companies in the Unittd 

 States. His character and habits were above reproach, and his deaih 

 is a great loss. 



Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be furnished the press of "^an 

 Francisco, and Portland, Oregon, also The India Rubber WoRi.n, 

 New York.
