Dr. Joseph Torrcy. ui tin- Xorthwcstcrn Kiibber C".. I-imited. 

 was presiding officer at a number of the conferences and proved 

 himself a inaster of the art. 



Quincy Tucker, of Boston, who is connected with a rubber 

 planting company in British Guian^ was one of the visitors 

 to the International Rubber Exhibition. He represented 

 there a Dcmcrara newspaper very successfully. 



The exceedingly capable organizer who made the Interna- 

 tional Rubber Exhibition such a success is at work upon a 

 Cotton. Fiber and .Allied Trades Exhibition to be held in Lon- 

 don in 1913. Mr. Manders probably does not appreciate it yet, 

 but this is something that will interest rubber manufacturers 

 almost as much as a crude rubber exhibition, and he is sure of 

 their gate money anyway.

AN ENGLISH USE FOR GARDEN HOSE.
