THE TYER 'HOLD-TITE" TIRE. 



HE Tver Rubber Co.. of Andovcr, Masachusetts, makers of 

 ibe Tyrian rubber goods, have incorporated the letter T in the 

 tread of their "Hold-Tite" anti-skid 

 automobile tire. There are two rows 

 of these T-shaped depressions. The 

 lieads abut a strip of uncut rubber 

 which extends around the tire at its 

 greatest circumference. As the great- 

 est amount of wear comes on this 

 point it should have excellent wearing 

 qualities.

Simplification is the great law ot 

 civilized conveniences. 



Here is a shaving brush called the 

 "Sclfeedo" that combines in itself the 

 work of a brush and the offices of a 

 shaving cup. Ihe handle, which is made of hard rubber, is 

 hollow and is in two parts, the outer part working on a screw 

 over the lower. In the hollow handle enough shaving cream

can be stored for 100 days' use. When the shaver is ready 

 for operations he simply dips the bristles into water, give the 

 top of the handle a quarter turn, and that forces a sufficient 

 amount of cream down into the bristles for the morning's shave. 

 The brush is put up in a hard rubber case, so that a man can 

 carry his shaving outfit in his waistcoat pocket. (Baird-North 

 Co., Providence, Rhode Island.) 



"SOLID air." 



A new tire filling compound is mentioned in the French tech- 

 nical press, which can be injected in a liquid state into tires at 

 different degrees of tension, to correspond with the weight and 

 normal load of the vehicle, as well as the size of the tire casing. 

 After a few hours the injected liquid becomes plastic, generating 

 gas in millions of cells. It is said to be compressible and inex- 

 tensible, differing from rubber, which is incompressible and 

 extensible.

A NEW PREPARATION FOR AUTO TOPS. 



Rubber has contributed not only in a thousand ways to the 

 comfort of living, but it is continually contributing to the wealth 

 of our vocabulary. Every day some new word born of rubber 

 appears in print. Here's one of the latest — "RUB-R-TITE." 

 It is the name of a preparation for use on worn-out and leaky 

 automobile and carriage tops. It is alleged to renew and render 

 waterproof any sort of fabric, whether mohair, pantasote, leather 

 or cravenette, re-filling and re-surfacing the fabric. The manu- 

 facturers do not tell what it consists of, but they say that it is 

 neither a paint nor a varnish, and that it puts an elastic, durable 

 coating on the auto top. Its name seems to warrant the assump- 

 tion that it contains at least some suggestion of rubber. (Rub- 

 On Manufacturing Co., Buffalo, New York.)
