THE current trade publications of chief interest just now 

 happen to be the new lists of the rub'^er shoe companies. 

 Not only is the date unusual for the appearance of these lists, 

 but the revision of discounts is a matter that concerns every 

 jobber and retailer.==As usual, a good sized bundle of cata- 

 logues comes from the United States Rubber Co., devoted 

 respectively to the products of the various constituent compa- 

 nies. There are separate catalogues for the American Rubber 

 Co., including the " Para " brands ; L. Candee &^ Co., with the 

 " Federal " list ; Goodyear s Metallic Rubber Shoe Co., listing the 

 ' Wales-Goodyear " and " Connecticut " goods ; and the Woon- 

 socket Rubber Co., including the " Rhode Island " brands. 

 There is a separate list for the " Jersey " goods and a combined 

 one of the " Meyer " and " Jersey " brands ; also of the " Colo- 

 nial " brand ; together with the customary net price sheets and 

 the like. These catalogues were prepared under the supervi- 

 sion of Mr. John P. Lyons, the United States company's adver- 

 tising manager, who has been able, in a marked degree, to give 

 each catalogue a distinctive appearance, and at the same time 

 to avoid copying in any way the designs of preceding cata- 

 logues.==The 1902 catalogue of the Boston Rubber Shoe 

 Co., as usual, is distributed direct from the offices of that com- 

 pany, and is accompanied by the larger jobbers' list, both pub- 

 lications preserving the same general character which they 

 have borne so long.^ -The Lycoming Rubber Co. (Williams- 

 port, Pennsylvania), also send their Annual Catalogue of Boots 

 aud Shoes from their local office. 



William Morse & Co. (New York) have had an edition of 

 the American Rubber Co.'s catalogue printed, with the addition 

 of a list of other rubber goods kept in stock by this important 

 jobbing house. [3'A"X6'a". 72 pages.] 



Apsley Rubber Co. (Hudson, Massachusetts) have issued, 

 under date of January i, 1902, their annual catalogue and price 

 list of Rubber Boots and Shoes, handsomely got up, and cov- 

 ering a full line of styles. f3>s "X6'. 64 pages.] 



Wm. F. Mayo & Co. (Boston) issue their Catalogue No. 7 of 

 factory damaged and out-of-style rubber footwear, listing about 

 25,000 cases from the various factories of the United States 

 Rubber Co. Nearly 700 lots are offered, with net prices 

 affixed, at a reduction of 10 percent, or more from manufactur- 

 ers' prices.""The unsold stocks of the Byfield Rubber Co. 

 (Bristol, R. 1.) have been acquired by the Messrs. Mayo, and 

 are listed in a supplement to Catalogue No. 7. 



Washington Rubber Co., Inc. (Seattle and Tacoma, 

 Washington), selling agents for the Pacific Coast Rubber Co., 

 issue an illustrated price list of Mechanical Rubber Goods. 

 The company make a specialty of the Boston Belting Co.'s 

 rubber belting, packing and hose, [i'^" X 7K'- S- pages.]== 

 Also, an illustrated price list of Druggists' Sundries, embracing 

 a wide range of goods, selected from the production of the 

 leading manufacturers. [5" X 7H"- 96 pages.] 



GuSTAVE Rush (No. 60 Beekman street, New York), issues 

 a priced catalogue of Mechanical Rubber Goods, making a 

 specialty of rubber blankets for printers' and lithographers' 

 use. [3" X sU- '6 pages]. ==He sends out also a handsome 

 vest pocket memorandum book and calendar for 1902. 



Boston Woven Hose and Rubber Co. (Cambridgeport, 

 Mass.) issue a new illustrated catalogue of their products, in- 

 cluding not only belting, hose, and other mechanical goods, 

 but also tires, mold work, and various "sundries." The cata- 

 logue quotes prices, and is well illustrated and printed. [6"X9". 

 107 pages.]
