A FEW MORE CALENDARS. 



Several calendars really worthy ul nieiition were received too 

 late in January to be included in the column devoted to such pub- 

 lications in our February issue. 



Atnong those later calendars is a large and handsome one 

 issued by The Republic Rubber Co., Youngstown, Ohio. The en- 

 tire calendar is nearly 3 feet wide x 30 inches deep, and the es- 

 sential feature of it, a handsome lithograph in ten or a dozen 

 colors, is 30 niches wide x 20 inches deep. This shows an old 

 farmer with his horse at the watering-trough. The two are gaz- 

 ing with much interest on a red touring car that has just whizzea 

 by, leaving in the road the familiar tracks made by the Republic 

 "Staggard" tread. The title of the picture is "It begins to look 

 like we're back numbers, Billy." The picture is worth framing, 

 and probably many of them will be. 



De Lagotellerie, crude rubber importer, 24 Stone street. New 

 York, has issued a wall calendar in bright colors, giving a half 

 dozen half-tone pictures of rubber-shipping scenes in Brazil, and 

 scenes on the New York docks where the rubber is received. 

 The most useful feature of the calendar, however, is a map of the 

 world, about 12 or 14 inches in width, wliich is a very convenient 

 thing to have on the wall for reference. 



The Eugene C. Lewis Co., bookbinders, 214 William street, 

 New York, have distributed a very artistic little wall calendai, 

 with a block pad devoting a leaf to each day of the year. This is 

 mounted on a heavy card printed in gold and several shades of 

 brown, the whole enclosed in a suitable cardboard box. 



The Omo Mfg. Co., Middletown, Conn., makers of dress- 

 shields, are also represented by a very tasteful calendar. It is 

 intended for the wall, being about 16 incites long. It is printed in 

 gold, black and gray on heavy cream-colored paper, which is 

 mounted on gray cardboard and finished with a pearUgray rib- 

 bon for hanging purposes. 



H. F. Taintor Mfg. Co., makers of whiting, Paris white, chalk 

 and China clay, have distributed a small desk calendar, each sheet 

 showing the current month in figures of good size, while the pre- 

 ceding and succeeding months arc shown in smaller figures at the 

 sides. 



A FINE LITTLE POCKET BIAKY. 



John Royle & Sons, Paterson, N. J., manufacturers of tub- 

 ing machines, insulating machines and circular looms for the 

 rubber trade, have distributed to their customers a very attract- 

 ive little pocket diary, gilt-edged and leather covered. They 

 explain the somewhat delayed appearance of this diary by the 

 statement that an earlier edition was just about to be shipped 

 when the publishing plant took fire and their whole edition was 

 destroyed, making it necessary to print another. In the front 

 and back of the diary there are several pages devoted to an in- 

 teresting recital of what the company has done and is prepared 

 to do. The following paragraph is taken from the story : 



"Go over your equipment carefully. Find out what it costs 

 to run each machine and what it gives you in return. Then 

 look into Royle machines and see what an investment in better 

 tools would pay in the way of annual returns. Financiers con- 

 sider six per cent, a splendid return on an investment. We have 

 built machines that paid the user nearly one thousand per cent, 

 on the investment; and while we may not be able to do quite so 

 well every time, we can do something for you well worth your 

 while." 



A DESK CALENDAR AND PAD COMBINED 



A convenient combination of calendar and writing pad has 

 been received by the customers of Stanley Doggett, 11 Cliff 

 street, New York, dealer in chemical colors and compounding 

 ingredients for the rubber trade. The writing pad, which is of 

 excellent paper, is attached to a heavy mount about 35^2 by 8 

 inches in size. Over the pad there is a calendar having a card 

 for each moi-th, the cards being inserted in a leatherette case. 

 While t' is calendar is attached to the same mount as the pad. 



by reason of a double fold, it can be pushed up to the head of 

 the pad and kept in an upright position where it stands, at a 

 convenient optical angle, and leaves the pad uncovered for use. 



THE THEODORE HOFELLER PLAYING CARDS. 



Theodore Ilofcllcr S: Co., of Buft'alo, New York, dealers in 

 old rubber, have favored their friends with a very attractive 

 set of playing cards, the face of the cards being, of course, like 

 those in general use, e-xcept that the joker shows a half-tone 

 print of the large Hofeller factory. On the back the cards are 

 printed in crimson and gold and display this text artistically 

 arranged : Theodore Hofeller & Co.. Buffalo, New York ; larg- 

 est Dealers in Old Rubber in the World. It is a souvenir that 

 is bound to receive a cordial welcome.

 general line of automobile accessories are among the varied out- 

 put of this company, which is now making everything in rubber
