THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



Al-gust 1, 1913. 



NEW TRADE PUBLICATIONS. 



CINCINNATI nUBBER MANUFACTURING CO. 



In catalog C, lately issued, the various features of the me- 

 chanical rubber goods made by the Cincinnati Rubber Manufac- 

 turing Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, are fully listed and illustrated. 

 Commencing with an effective cut of the factory buildings, the 

 reader's attention is called by the catalog to the four varieties of 

 plain belting, followed by two of stitched and three varieties of 

 friction surface. Next in order come beltings for various special 

 uses, such as oil wells, conveyors, elevators and other purposes. 

 Several pages are devoted to the use of rubber belting, with a 

 formula for determining the horse power represented. 



The subject of hose is a big one and is appropriately dealt with 

 by comprehensive illustrated lists of steam, water, lawn, fire, 

 mill, brewers' and pneumatic tool varieties. Other specialties are 

 qualities for use in automobiles, chemical engines, etc. 



Packing includes the well-known "Norka," "Old Crow" and 

 *"Cincinnalus" grades in various forms, while a complete line of 

 tubing is also represented. Rubber covered rolls make a special 

 feature of this concern's product. 



Numerous other specialties complete the line as shown in this 

 highly useful and interesting catalog, dealing with the entire 

 range of mechanical rubber goods. 



A COMPREHENSIVE CATALOG. 



Covering as it does druggists', chemists' and perfumers' glass- 

 ware, as well as druggists' sundries, the annual price list of the 

 Whitall Tatum Co. gives a comprehensive idea of the lines 

 manufactured and carried by this enterprising concern. The 

 number of articles handled may be inferred from the fact that the 

 index to the principal ones includes nearly 600 items; while the 

 catalog itself numbers 198 pages, copiously illustrated. Glassware 

 occupies 72 pages, the remainder of the space being given to drug- 

 gists' sundries. 



The importance of rubber as an element in the manufacture 

 of druggists' sundries is shown by the catalog itself. That the 

 baby from its earliest age is a factor in the consumption of 

 rubber is shown by the cuts of nipples, comforters and "toothers," 

 of which a large variety is displayed. Following these are 

 various makes of hard rubber syringes, after which come water 

 bottles, atomizers and sanitary goods. Hospital specialties, such 

 as ice bags, invalid's feeding cups, bandages and thermometers 

 carry the line further, till the important heading of hard rubber 

 combs is reached, of which soine forty numbers are listed, many 

 of them being illustrated. 



.Attractive in form and compiled with much care, this catalog 

 is a handy guide in the purchase of druggists' glassware and 

 sundries, and as such will be appreciated by all interested in 

 that branch of trade. 



SOME NEW GOODRICH ISSUES. 

 GOODRICH ROAD GUIDES. 

 .Among the many advantages oiTered by the automobile is the 

 facility it affords of traversing the distance between populous 

 ■centers. To fully appreciate this point it is necessary to accom- 

 pany the motorist in spirit on his journey. Such an opportunity 

 is afforded by a perusal of the folder issued by The B. F. Good- 

 rich Co., "Omaha to Kansas City." The intending or actual 

 tourist finds in this convenient pocket guide a full reference to 

 the landmarks distinguishing the way between the two cities 

 named. The fullness of the information may be inferred from 

 the fact that there are no less than about 150 references, covering 

 Ihe distance of 221 miles. 



Niagara Falls being the objective point of numerous summer 

 motorists, a neat card issued by the Goodrich Co. is of special 

 value just now. The route from BufTalo to Niagara Falls (22}/2 

 miles) is indicated, with references to eight points on the way. 

 For the benefit of the motorist continuing his journey into Can- 

 ada, the routes to Hamilton (49^ miles), and thence to Toronto 



(42J/2 miles), are shown on the same principle as that of the 

 guide from Buffalo to Niagara Falls. 



FURTHER GOODRICH LITERATURE. 

 In a new group of folders the B. F. Goodrich Co. has further 

 emphasized the merits of certain specialties in its product. These 

 include the ever present subject of rubber bands. As the folder 

 e.xplains, the peculiarity of rubber bands is that they are often 

 not to be found when wanted ; this clusiveness being obviated 

 through the "Goodrich Bank Band Assortment," which contains 

 seven sizes in a neat box. This handy device is sufficiently 

 large not to be easily misplaced, forming a useful adjunct of 

 the busy man's desk. The bands, moreover, are of the standard 

 Goodrich quality and are guaranteed for five years against de- 

 fects of material and manufacture. 



Another specialty, tho different in character, is the "Good- 

 rich Rubber Bucket" holding over two gallons and when col- 

 lapsed taking up a space of only 9 x 2J^ inches. Its practical 

 advantages include a strainer in the spout which keeps back all 

 impurities. This convenient motor accessory is more easily 

 handled than the ordinary bucket and deserves the attention of 

 •every motorist. 



Lawn tennis retaining its popularity as an outdoor game, it is 

 ■of interest to note from still another folder that the Goodrich 

 ball has been adopted for the season of 1913 by the United States 

 National Lawn Tennis Association. It may be used in all tour- 

 naments under association rules. 



POPULARIZING A PASTIME. 

 While the automobile and the motorcycle have done much to 

 affect the popularity of the bicycle, there are still many adherents 

 ■of the latter. To such the question of tires is of primary interest. 

 A neat folder recently issued by the B. F. Goodrich Co. explains 

 the advantages of two special tires : "Roadworthy," price $5.50 

 per pair, and "Ma.xecon," price $5 per pair, in the standard sizes. 

 It is claimed that these tires embody the highest quality con- 

 sistent with their low prices. 



POCKET RULE BOOK OF GOLF— 1913. 



Seeing that handiness is the chief desideratum in a booklet 

 ■containing the rules of any popular game, the B. F. Goodrich Co. 

 has assuredly furnished golf players with just what they want. 

 In a neat stiff-covered booklet, 6 .x 3, are condensed into 42 pages 

 the rules of golf, both for ordinary playing and matches; while 

 in the remaining six pages the merits of the Goodrich golf balls 

 are fully explained and illustrated. The "Stag," "Moose." 

 "Comet," "Meteor," "Scotty," "Final" and "Bantam" are no 

 longer mere names, but by the aid of the cuts become realities, 

 of interest to all golf players. 



THE GOODRICH FOREIGN SERVICE. 



Now that a large number of American motorists are in Europe, 

 a folder issued by the B. F. Goodrich Co. has a special interest 

 for the actual or intending tourist. It gives just the information 

 needed by the automobilist or bicyclist as to where he can obtain 

 standard Goodrich tires in American sizes with inch measure- 

 ments, distinguished from those in millimeters. The company has 

 its own houses in England, Germany, France and Belgium with 

 agents carrying a stock of tires at some fifteen various points in 

 nine different European countries. For the benefit of motorists, 

 the Goodrich company issues an ".Auto Map and Guide to 

 Europe," which is available free, on request made to the Good- 

 rich Touring Bureau, Akron, Ohio. 



REDUCTION IN REPAIR PRICES. 



The retail tire dealers and repairers of Toledo, Ohio, have 

 done a wise thing. The last of June they made a general agree- 

 ment to reduce their prices for tire repairs and materials, on 

 the ground that the cost of tires had been considerably lessened 

 (luring the last two years. Charges now are 25 cents for vul- 

 canizing a nail puncture, as against 50 cents, the former price. 

 The charge for patches has been reduced about 40 per cent., and 

 the price for re-treading has been lowered 15 per cent.
