THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[December 1, 1912. 



THE UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. 



The rapid rise in the price of the common stock of the United 

 States Rubber Co. during the latter part of November, which in 

 a week's time carried it up some 10 points, gave rise to a great 

 deal of conjecture as to its cause. Quite a good many of the 

 financial writers said that this stock was to be placed on a 5 

 per cent, dividend basis, which accounted for its activity in the 

 market. Inquiry at the office of the United States Rubber Co., 

 however, brings the information that at the present time no such 

 dividend increase is being considered. The report that the com- 

 pany's gross business shows an increase for the 10 months ending 

 October 31 of 30 per cent, over the same period for last year, 

 is confirmed at the company's office. This is a very substantial 

 increase, and in itself would be sufficient to e-xplain a marked 

 rise in the price of the common stock.

THE ATLANTIC RUBBER COMPANY. 



Owing to the large increase in their business during the past 

 year or two, The .Atlantic Rubber Co. found their present fac- 

 tory inadequate, and have therefore sold it, and expect to build 

 a new fireproof one next year. They have moved to another 

 factory in Hyde Park, on River- street, where they will remain 

 until their new factory is fully equipped. In addition to sell- 

 ing their buildings and real estate, they sold a few of their 

 heavy machines, which w'ere expensive to move. 



THE NORTH BRITISH PICTURES. 



Mention was made in our November issue of the very inter- 

 esting moving picture display contributed to the Rubber Expo- 

 sition by the Malayan planters, but through an oversight no 

 mention was made of the equally fine moving pictures, showing 

 the process of manufacturing rubber, contributed by the North 

 British Rubber Co. These pictures followed immediately after 

 the plantation pictures and completed the story — the two series 

 together giving the entire history of rubber from the time the 

 seed is planted to the packing of the goods for the consumers' 

 use. These pictures constituted one of the most valuable fea- 

 tures of the exposition.
