E. M. Mundy, Pliiladelphia, treasurer; F. M. Scliwab, Philadel- 

 phia, secretary. There will be no change in the run- 

 ning uf either plant, tliey will continue the same as 

 formerly, the merger being made because the Philadelphia 

 plant uses the acid method of reclaiming rubber, while 

 the Akron plant uses the alkali method. As there are some

 another, the companies have united for mutual benefit. The 

 Akron plant will be known as the Akron Division and the Phila- 

 delphia plant as the Philadelphia Division of the Philadelphia 

 Rubber Works Co. The offices are located at 906 Land Title 

 building. Philadelphia, Pa.
