WATERPROOF COATS FOR THE NEW SEASON. 



HERE are four new waterproof coats, taken from the offer- 

 ings for 1912 and 1913 of the Greenhiit-Siegel Cooper 

 Co., of New York. They give a very good idea of the 

 sort of rubberized garments that the women are expected to wear 

 this winter. 

 Describing them from left to right they are briefly as follows : 

 No. 1 is made of serge or cravenette and guaranteed shower- 

 proof, but not being rubberized cannot be guaranteed as a suffi- 

 cient protection against pelting rain. This is made in semi- 

 fitted style with tailored seams and has a mannish collar and 

 patch pockets which serve further to set it off. It comes in 

 Oxford grey and tan. 



Some 1912 Raincu.vts for Women. 



No. 2 is a tourist raincoat made of imported rubberized di- 

 agonal tw'eed in the Raglan style. This garment can be worn in 

 any weather and is suited for a general traveling coat or auto- 

 mobile wrap. This is made in grey, black, and black and brown 

 diagonal. 



No. 3 is made of rubberized cashmere, fashioned in the loose 

 slip-on style, with high turnover collar and is made in olive 

 green. 



No. 4 is made of mercerized poplin rubberized and is cut in 

 the English box style. All the seams are cemented with pure 

 rubber, making them absolutely watertight. This garment is 

 made in navy blue, grey and black. 



A COLLAPSIBLE FAIL FOB MOTORISTS. 



This collapsible pail isn't in reality new, for it has been on 

 the market for several years, but it probably is new to a good 

 many people who tour around in motor cars ; and all such will 



be glad to know 

 about it. It is made 

 of rubber cloth, well 

 coated to avoid leak- 

 ing. It is light, and 

 when collapsed only 

 stands 2J/2 inches 

 high. When extended 

 for use, it stands 11 

 inches high, and 

 holds 2'< gallons of 

 water. Any motorist 

 who has found his 

 radiator running dry, 

 and not a house in 

 sight, and has tried to 

 convey water from a 

 running brook in his hat, knows how much he would have 

 given under those conditions for any sort of a pail. [The

CTTTTING PAVEMENTS WITH PNEUMATIC HAMMERS. 



One of the most frequent sights in city streets, particularly in 

 the streets of our older cities, is the taking up of hard pavement — 



asphalt or con- 

 crete — for the 

 purpose of put- 

 ting in new pipes 

 ur wires or rails, 

 or repairing 

 those that are al- 

 ready there. 



It is no easy 

 task to take up 

 an asphalt pave- 

 ment. It is al- 

 most as hard as 

 iron, and the old 

 regulation meth- 

 od of doing it 

 by hand with a 

 gang of men and 

 picks is slow, ex- 

 pensive, and not 

 very satisfactory 

 in any way, par- 

 ticularly where 

 it is desirable to 

 follow a straight 

 line and make a 

 clean edge. To 

 obviate the dis- 

 advantages o f 

 hand work in 

 taking up these 

 hard pavements, 

 considerable ex- 

 perimenting of a very successful character has recently been 



Cutting Asphalt by Compressed Air.
