[page 361] an error occurred in stating the capacity of the de- 

 vice, which that gentleman asks to have corrected. As printed, 

 the statement read : " The operator can mark, on the average, 

 about 600 pairs per hour on the last, and from 1000 to 13,000 off 

 the last." The latter figures, of course, should have been 

 1300. 



PAD CLEANER AND INK DISTRIBUTOR. 

 Every user of a rubber stan.p desires, naturally, to get a 

 good impression from it. Hence it is important that the stamp 



/7^^^^^ be kept clean— that

the

PiQ , also lint from 



stamping pad. In the accompanying illustrations Figure 1 

 shows a new article made of India-rubber — a stamp and pad 

 cleaner, described as " a combi- 

 nation ot a brush having hexa- 

 gon-shaped teeth on one side and 

 a three blade scraper on the other 

 side, made entirely of rubber, in- 

 to which is inserted a hand- 

 somely finished wooden handle." 

 Figure 2 shows the method of 

 cleaning a rubber stamp with this 

 new device. All foreign substances can thus be removed with- 

 out marring or cutting the stamp. If the dry brush will not 

 remove dirt that has be- 

 come caked on the 

 stamp, soap and water 

 may be used. Of course 

 it is equally important, 

 in using a rubber stamp, 

 that the ink pad should 

 be clean. The cleaner

above described is equally adapted 

 for this purpose, as indicated by 

 Figure 3. Finally, 

 this handy little de- 

 vice can be put to 

 another use — helping 

 to replenish the sup- 

 ply of ink in the pad_ 

 as shown in Figure 4. 

 After the pad has first been filled, a small amount of stamp 

 ink is poured on, and then distributed thoroughly with the 

 brush side of the distributor. The retail price is 35 cents.] The
