U. S. RUBBER RECLAIMING CO. IN *2d ST. BUILDING. 



The United States Rubber Reclaiming Works has recently re- 

 organized ; changing the company name to that of the United 

 States Rubljer Reclaiming Co., Inc. The stock of the company 

 has been increased to $2,400,000, divided into $1,200,000 preferred 

 and $1,200,000 common. There has been no change in the ad- 

 ministration or personnel of the company. About the 1st of March 

 the administrative department will move its offices from the 

 present location at 277 Broadway to the Forty-second street 

 building, where it will occupy commodious and handsomely ap- 

 pointed offices. 



NEW aUARTERS OF A CRUDE RUBBER HOUSE. 



Wallace L. Cough, the well-known crude rubber operator, has 

 taken a suite of offices on the fourth floor of the Maritime build- 

 ing, Xo. 8 and 10 Bridge street, and is certainly very happily lo- 

 cated. Mr. Cough has extensively developed connections along 

 the lines of both selling and buying. On the first of the year, 

 Edward R. Williams, a young rubber man of experience — both 

 in this vicinity and in Western rubber sections — became identi- 

 fied with the Gough concern, and brings to it what will very 

 probably prove a profitable connection. 



removal of A TIRE FABRIC CONCERN. 



The Connecticut Mills, Danielson. Connecticut, has recently 

 added a 250-foot building to its extensive plant, augmenting pro- 

 duction 50 per cent, and incidentally increasing its capital to 

 $550,000. R. J. Caldwell, the selling agent of the company, has 

 changed his New York address to 488 Broadway. He recently 

 distributed a very large and effective water-color reproduction, 

 showing the water-front of lower Manhattan. This souvenir is 

 something that is not only sure of a substantial place in the ap- 

 preciation of recipients, but of a conspicuous one on the walls 

 of their offices as well. 



INCREASED FACILITIES OF A RUBBER TOOL CONCERN. 



The Hoggson & Pettis Manufacturing Co., makers of a com- 

 plete and standard line of rubber-cutting tools and devices, and 

 specializing in "The Sweetland Lathe Chuck," are now so situ- 

 ated as to handle orders with increased efficiency. This com- 

 pany has always been recognized as being standard in its line. 



TRADE NEWS NOTES. 



According to the newspapers of Trenton, there is quite an 

 agitation in that city over a possible industrial exposition to be 

 held under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce. If such 

 an exposition is held, it will give a number of rubber manufac- 

 turers quite an opportunity to display their products. 



The Duck Brand Co., of Chicago, are now located in their new 

 store at 22-26 South Market street, that city. 



It is reported that the East Palestine Rubber Co., are now 

 turning out tires. 



The McGraw Tire & Rubber Co.. East Palestine, Ohio, are 

 adding new buildings to their already extensive factory, and are 

 now in a position to turn out their product in increased volume. 

 The New York branch of that company, which is at 1706 

 Broadway, is now under the management of Russell F. Hobron, 

 who was for many years connected with the Voorhees Rubber 

 Co. Mr. Hobron enters upon his new position finely equipped 

 to give good service to the metropolitan trade. 



The annual banquet of the Goodyear Rubber Co., of Milwaukee, 

 for salesmen and heads of departments, was held in the red 

 room of the Hotel Pfister in that city, January 18. Mr. Olin A. 

 Richards, of the United States Rubber Co., New York, was a 

 guest. 



R. L. Chipman. identified for many years with the Boston 

 house of George A. Alden & Co.. is now identified with the New 

 York Commercial Co., 290 Broadway.
