FARAHIDE RUBBER GOODS. 

 .\ SECRET compound of rubber and shredded .sole leather is the 

 basis of the organization of the I'arahide Rubber Co., Boston, 

 incorporated under the laws of the State of Massachusetts, with 

 a capital of $2,000,000, and a $25,000 plant in Salem, Mass., for 

 the manufacture of "Parahidc' goods. These include, in addition 

 to rubber soles and heels, which they have already placed on the 

 market, automobile tires, carriage tires, step-i)ads, mats, etc.. in 

 infinite variety. It is claimed that the compound, while pos- 

 sessing extraordinary durability, has all the resiliency of ordi- 

 nary rubber goods, t(jgether with remarkable non-slip properties, 

 that it is an ideal material for shoe soles of all kinds, being not 

 only waterproof, non-absorptive and non-slipping, but free from 

 the tendency to "draw" the feet. Parahide tires have been tested 

 up to a mileage of 5,000 miles, without suffering a puncture, 

 while they are said to reduce the danger of slipping or skidding 

 to a minimum, owing to the fact that the material does not wear 

 smooth and slippery, the fact that tires made from Parahide arc 

 reduced one-half in cost, being also an important point in their 

 favor. The company owns and controls all the patents, formula-, 

 etc., for the United States, Englaml and her colonies, and 

 France.
