New Rubber Goods in the Market. 



SECTIONAl. SAFETY TREAD FOB STAJES. 



AXEW Stair and floor tread suitable for use under a variety 

 of conditions, besides having all the advantages of resili- 

 ency due to the use in it of rubber, is made in sectional 

 form, which adds to the convenience of putting it in place. The 

 iHustration shows how this tread is applied in sectional strips to a 

 wooden step. The rubber part is made of vulcanized rubber 

 molded in strips and sprung into metal containers, through which 

 screws pass into the wood, thus holding the tread securely in 

 place. Another advantage of the sectional form is that it pro- 

 vides an easy and inexpensive means of repair, thereby econo-

mizing on the maintenance to a degree not possible with any 

 other tread on the market. The anti-slipping quality of the sur- 

 face also commends this tread. This new tread has been in- 

 stalled on hospital floors, in billiard parlors, on the steps of ele- 

 vated railway stations in New York, and at the Brooklyn bridge 

 entrance, besides which many other illustrations of its use could 

 be mentioned. Dealers will be supplied with samples on ap- 

 plication. [Sectional Safety Tread Co., No. 1 Madison square, 

 New York.]

 York.] 



BELT BUCKLES OF HARD RUBBER, 



One of the newest uses for rubber is in ladies' belt buckles. 

 The buckle itself is made of the hard rubber, the larger one 

 being the most fashionable. They are sometimes plain, but usually 

 ornamented with black jet or beads in some dark color. The belt 

 itself is often of elastic web, and also very dark in color. 



THE PAINTERS' STRIPING WHEEL. 



A DEVICE of exceptional convenience, for use in factories and 

 shops where are constructed automobiles, carriages and other 

 vehicles, as well as wheelbarrows, plows, and farm implements 

 generally, and many kinds of machinery, is the Painters' and 

 Decorators' Striping and Stencil Wlu-el. lliis device is available 



for striping or ornamental design work, on any smooth surface, 

 including iron, stone or wood. Walls, ceilings, and even signs 

 can be striped and ornamented attractively by this substitute for 

 the painter's brush. The method of operation is to fill the rubber 

 bulb with the paint to be used, which is squeezed through the 

 body of the device to the other end, where is mounted a small 

 roll or wheel, which becomes covered with the paint through the 

 pressure on the bulb. The application of this roll, or wheel, to 

 the surface to be painted produces a uniform and accurate stripe

— plain or ornamental, according to the design of the wheel. 

 These wheels may be had in a great variety of designs, from a 

 straight line of any width desired to ornamental designs, as 

 desired. The bulb is of rubber, of course, as are also the striping 

 wheels. This device is nickel plated, conveniently shaped for 

 the hands, and costs from $5.50 up. [Weber & Wenderhold, 

 No. 50 Church street. New York.]
