[April 1, 1913. 



THE ELECTRIC RUBBER RECLAIMING CO.S NEW PROCESS. 



In the attractive and interesting booklet lately issued by the 

 recently incorporated Electric Rubber Reclaiming Co., of Akron 

 and Barbertoh, Ohio, detailed reasons are given tor the claim of 

 that corporation, that its electrically reclaimed rubber is superior 

 to the best grade of the article hitherto offered. 



While the moisture, specific gravity, ash, tensile strength, 

 stretch and recovery, vary with the stock from which reclaimed 

 rubber is made, such variations can, by the company's process, 

 be controlled within the limits of any given specification adapted 

 for the article. Such limitation is only possible where the re- 

 claiming is in the hands of experts and experienced reclaimers, 

 and where the production is under lalioratory control. These 



TO MAKE TIRES ON THE PACIFIC COAST. 



Some of the business men living on the Pacific Coast have 

 been asking themselves why tires could not be made there as 

 well as anywhere. They have satisfied themselves in their own 

 minds that they can, and they have formed the Panama Rubber 

 Co., incorporated under the laws of California. The capital 

 stock of the company is $500,000 preferred and $500,000 common. 

 The officers are : W. D. Newerf, president ; W. E. McCune, 

 vice-president ; J. S. Benner, secretary, and John F. Roe, 

 treasurer. They have not yet decided where the factory is to be 

 located, but are waiting for the best bid. It is likely, however, 

 to be either in the suburbs of San Francisco or of Los Angeles. 

 The company has prepared and issued a very pretty little book

conditions existing with the Electric Rubber Reclaiming Co., 

 they claim uniformity of product. The most important quality 

 claimed for the latter is. however, its long life, due to its free- 

 dom from undecomposed fabric, sulphur and pieces of metal. By 

 the use of the electric current on which the process depends, 

 these objectionable features are completely removed. 



Sample shipments of scrap rubber are invited by the com- 

 pany for treatment by their ekctric process, and subsequent 

 analysis. The officers of the company are : Emil Gammeter, pres- 

 ident ; Francis A. Brodbeek. Jr., vice-president; H. .A. Backderf. 

 secretary, and Fred W, .Al'irecht, treasurer. The directors are 

 the above, with William A. Byrider, Joseph Dangel. Shreve 

 Clark, Frank R. IMoore, Chas. Fosnight. E. E. Crooks and 

 George \V. Blackburn. 



It is anticipated that this new company will add to the great 

 reputation .Akron already holds in the rubber world. 



PAYING CLUB DTTES WITH OLD TIKES. 



The Massachusetts Auto Club, uf Boston, iias discovered a 

 way of making it easy for its members to pay their dues. The 

 house committee has sent out the following announcement to 

 the members of the club : "Members wishing to dispose of 

 worn-out tires and inner tubes may send them to the club, ex- 

 press prepaid and plainly marked with the owner's name. The 

 tires will be shipped to a rubber manufacturer, and members 

 will receive a credit on their bills for the number of pounds 

 of waste rubber at the net price received from the manufacturer"

 preferred stock, in $10 shares, at par, giving a bonus of one 

 share of common stock with every four shares of preferred 

 stock purchased.
