show to its close. The exhibit consisted of a large number of 

 drums attractively painted in red, containing the company's 

 product, and in the center of the booth was a very heavy weight 

 supported by a strip of rubber in which w-as incorporated a large 

 percentage of '"Emarex." Another particularly interesting fea- 

 ture of this exhibit was a treadmill, the flooring of which was 

 of the Alden Mineral Rubber, operated alternately by two horses.

during the progress of the exposition and showing on the 

 closing day that "Emarex" is impervious even to the continuous 

 hoof beats to which it was subjected for ten days. George A. 

 Watkinson, who operates the mineral rubber department of 

 George A. Alden & Co., was in charge of this exhibit, as he 

 was of that in London last year, and his genial personality did 

 much to promote the attractiveness of this exhibit and the popu- 

 larity of this product. 



WHERE ALL WAS RUBBER. 

 One of the most unique exhibits in the whole Exposition^ 

 combining art with business, was the booth of the Rubber Re- 

 generating Co. This occupied a space of about 30 x 40 feet, 

 and was walled in all the way around — a distance probably of 

 140 feet — with a solid wall about three feet high and a foot thick, 

 built up of the regenerated rubber made by this company. 

 On top of this wall, forming a continuous parapet, was a row of 

 flourishing rubber trees — probably a hundred of them all told. 

 This exhibit was in charge of Mr. W. A. Inwood, who received 

 a great many congratulations on his conspicuously efTective 

 display. 



A CHEMIC.VL EXHIBIT FROM HAMBURG. 



Lehniann & Voss, of Hamburg, had an attractive showing of 

 chemicals of interest to the rubber trade; in addition to which 

 they distributed two publications of genuine value to the trade, 

 namely : — "Handbook for India Rubber Engineers," and "Tables 

 for India Rubber Engineers," publications which are very highly 

 ap|)reciated by all those fortunate enough to have acquired 

 copies. The booth was in charge of Mr. R. Bardewyck, the com- 

 pany's manager in the United States. 



J. W. COULSTO.N' & CO. 

 I his lirni makes a specialty of imported red oxides of iron and 

 of antimony in various forms, while in colors of American man- 

 ufacture it carries greens and xellows for rubber compounding.

It likewise makes a particular feature of sulphide of zinc. Mr. 

 Thomas Coulston, who had been in charge of the exhibit, ex- 

 pressed liimself as much pleased with results obtained. 



THE U. S. RUBBER RECLAIMING CO. 

 There was probably no more magnetic exhibit than that of 

 the United States Rubber Reclaiming Co., which among other 

 interesting features, operated a Birmingham mill, which demon- 

 strated the process of grinding rubber in a reclaiming plant. 



The U. S. Rubber Recl.m.ming Works. 



This booth was recognized as a center of hospitality and many- 

 good things, including "The Celebrated Loewenthal Cigar" and 

 "Reclaimed Rubber Purses" were dispensed. Among the mem- 

 bers of the company and its representatives present at different
