THE INDIA RUBBER V^ORLD 



393 



A TELEGRAPH CODE FOR RUBBER MEN. 



THE International Cable Directory Co. (New York and 

 London) have in press a telegraphic code book specially 

 prepared for all who have to do with the business of handling 

 or manufacturing or dealing in India-rubber, Gutta-percha, and 

 asbestos, in any shape or form. This Rubber Code will com- 

 prise about 22,000 words and phrases and is designed to be so 

 complete, so far as these particular branches, that no one who 

 uses it can fail to find in it what he needs. Every known 

 article of India-rubber and Gutta-percha goods is included, 

 with code words for dimensions, quality, etc., with the result 

 that users will be able to reduce their expenses for telegraphing 

 and cabling to a surprising extent. For example, three code 

 words may be made to say : 



Ship by fast freight 50 feet rubber air drill hose, internal diameter }( 

 inches, 4 ply (3 ply inside, i ply outside) 



The book contains also a list of the leading rubber manufac- 

 turers and dealers in rubber goods, together with their regis- 

 tered cable addresses and code words to represent the titles of 

 the compaines and firms, so that in this matter alone an im- 

 portant saving can be made. The official vocabulary words in 

 the Rubber Code differ from those in the Western Union Tele- 

 graphic Code, published by the same company, so that the two 

 codes will not conflict in any way ; indeed, holders of the Rub- 

 ber Code will be able to use it in conjunction with the Western 

 Union Code, which has thousands of general terms and phrases 

 not to be found in any technical code. It may be mentioned 

 that the Western Union Code is on file in telegraph and cable 

 offices over a great part of the world, and in all United States 

 embassies, legations, and consulates, and that the Rubber Code 

 will be similarly distributed, to the end that holders of it may 

 have the widest possible facilities at command. 



From advance sheets of the Rubber Code forwarded to The 

 India Ri7bber World, it can be said that the book has 

 been most carefully compiled and must prove to be a valuable 

 auxiliary to firms in the various lines of manufacture covered 

 by it. 



SOME WANTS OF THE RUBBER TRADE. 



[262] "TpROM Germany comes an inquiry for the addresses 

 A of the principal elastic webb manufacturers in the 

 United States. 



[263] " Will you kindly advise us the names of some manu- 

 facturers who manufacture green edge goring ? " 



[264] From Canada : " Will you kindly furnish us with the 

 names of reliable manufacturers of rubber boots and shoes in 

 the United States who are not associated with the rubber shoe 

 trust?" 



The consul of Austria-Hungary at Saloniki, Turkey, reports 

 that the imports of rubber goloshes there amounts to about 

 2000 boxes of 50 pairs each (100,000 pairs), of which three- 

 fourths come from Austria. The prices are stated to be so low 

 (2.40 francs, or 46}^ cents, per pair) that the English product is 

 no longer able to compete in these articles.
