= The capital stock of the Rubber Trading Co. (No. 38 Mur- 

 ray street, New York), by a typographical error, was stated in

 have read S6o,ooo.

= If you want to make your mark in the world and are likely 

 to buy now, or want to buy later on, " Eureka" lubber lined 

 cotton fire hose or rubber garden hose, send to the Eureka Fire 

 Hose Co. for a price list, and also ask for a neat souvenir com- 

 bination lead pencil and eraser, which they will send gratis. 

 It is one of the most useful business gifts of the season. Their 

 address is No. 13 Barclay street. New York. 



= Paul Beaudreau has sued the Model Rubber Co. (Woon- 

 socket, Rhode Island) to recover $3000 for damages alleged to

= The " Goodrich picture " for 1903 represents " Aida," who 

 comes from out of the dim past and from the Far East, and is 

 the daughter of a king and princess of the blood royal. In 

 courtly phrase she suggests in the announcement that accompa- 

 nies her beautiful likeness that "The King's court will remain 

 in the state apartments in the royal palace night and day, to 

 receive your orders, which can only reach the throne when ad- 

 dressed to The B. F. Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio." The pic- 

 ture is exceedingly attractive and is a valuable addition to the 

 remarkably beautiful series that the Goodrich company have 

 created.

 manufacturing as governor. The Hon. Charles Dick, vice

 OBITUARY. 



Frederic Clark Savles, who died January 5 at the age of 

 68, at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, was born in that place, and 

 was the first mayor after the town became a city. In 1863 he 

 was admitted as a partner in the firm ol W. F. & F. C. Sayles, 

 whose bleachery enterprises expanded until they operated the 

 largest works of the kind in the world. Mr. Sayles for a num- 

 ber of years had been a director in the Woonsocket Rubber 

 Co., and since 1899 a director in the United Slates Rubber Co. 

 The village of Saylesville, with its beautiful memorial church, 

 its railroads, its well kept houses and streets, owes its growth 

 and development to the energy, good taste, and public spirit 

 of the Sayles brothers, and is a lasting monument to their 

 liberality. In October last Mr. Sayles presented to the city of 

 Pawtucket, as a memorial to his deceased wife, the Deborah 

 Cook Sayles Free Public Library, at a cost of $250,000. Mr. 

 Sayles is survived by two daughters and two sons, one of the 

 latter, F. C. Sayles, [r., being a director in the Woonsocket 

 Rubber Co. Mr. Sayles was descended, through both his par- 

 ents, from Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island. At 

 the time of the death of W. F. Sayles, in 1894, the wealth of 

 the two brothers was estimated at $20,000,000. 



= .\rchie B. Clark, manager of the Chicago office of the 

 Pennsylvania Rubber Co. (Jeannette, Pennsylvania) for nearly 

 three years past, prior to which time his home was in Akron, 

 died in Chicago on January i, aged 33 years. Mr. Clark had 

 worked very hard upon the annual inventory and suffered from 

 bowel trouble. For relief he took an injection of carbolic acid 

 and water, and the solution being too strong, the shock and a 

 blood clot which formed, caused his death. The funeral ser- 

 vices were held in Akron on January 4. The deceased was a 

 son of George B. Clark, of Akron, and a most popular young 

 man. He leaves a wife and three sons, aged six, four, and two 

 years.
