LEATHER INNER HEEL RUBBEU. 



To PREVENT heel plates and small heel shoes, short-fits and 

 run-down heels from breaking out or cutting through rubbers 

 at the back, The Kaufman Rubber Co., Ltd., Berlin, Ont., Can., 

 have brought out the improved form of rubber for women we 

 illustrate. The inner heel shown is made of leather and jointless 



Rubber With Le.^ther Inner Heel, 



and of the many placed on sale to give the improvement a 

 thorough practical test, all have proved successful. The new 

 rubber is an addition to the manufacturers' line of "Life Buoy" 

 rubbers for women. 



PROGRESS IN RUBBER SHOE MAKING. 



Adn.\ D. Warner, superintendent of the Mishawaka Woolen 

 Mfg. Co., Mishauaka, Indiana, is the inventor of a process in the 

 manufacture of rubber footwear, which, simple as it looks, is a

step in the right direction. It consists in brief in forming an in- 

 sole and a narrow filling sole, under great pressure, into one sole. 

 The pressure leaves the article recessed all the way round, so 

 that when placed upon the last or tree the outer sole and upper 

 are instantly and easily affi.xed. [United States Patent 989,089.] 



THE BROOM VACUUM CLEANER. 



A VACUU.M cleaner, the nozzle of which slips over a broom, 

 is something that the housewife is sure to appreciate. It will give 

 her the impression that she is still wielding the tools of her trade, 

 and at the same time doing it in the most approved modern 

 fashion. .Such is the "Pneurac," which will doubtless greatl\ 

 increase the household uses of hose and insulated wire. (John 

 Wananiaker, New York.] 



POPULAR GERMAN NIPPLE. 



A FOR.M of ni])ple that has of late appeared >ipon the German 

 market is herewith shown. The illustration tells all about it as

Cleaning 



THE CORRUGATED CLEANER. 



Force cups are almost as old as the rubber trade itself, but the 

 "Little Plumber Force Cup and Corrugated Cleaner" is new and 

 what is more to the point, good. The corrugations which en- 

 circle the bell shaped mouth, are 

 found to be very eflfective in 

 keeping the cup from collapsing 

 when in use. The corrugations 

 also form a sort of brush that is 

 most useful in cleaning enamelled 

 fixtures, etc. In addition to the 

 type shown in the illustration, 

 there are two plungers, large and 

 small, when the corrugations 

 \\ core the whole of the outer sur- 



Vi, iftts- face. This is used now as a 



v;; plumbers tool and has been found 



10 be of great merit. [The

 delphia, Pennsylv.inia.]

Mot e.\actl\- that either. The product is called "Synthenite," 

 and it is produced by a company who are large manufacturers of 

 Gutta Percha fuse. The new product does not o.xidize as does 

 gutta, and is therefore not as likely to crack in dry climates or 

 at low temperatures. Manufactured by the Insoloid F^use Co., 

 Ltd., Denver, Colorado. 



WATERPROOF FOLDABLES. 



As a rule pails, tubs and baskets are nuisances, necessary ones 

 to be sure, but they are bulky, intractable, and while useful in 

 camp are a trouble en route. The whole line has been made 

 foldable and, therefore, inlinitely more usable. This line em-

braces water pails, auto pails, lunch baskets, clothes baskets, 

 wash basins, foot tubs, bath tubs, fishing creels, minnow buckets, 

 tube trunks, tool cases, etc. They are all made of strong water- 

 proof canvas, the metal parts of spring steel, rust-proofed. They 

 are "knock down" and fold into very small compass. [The 

 Planet Company, Westfiekl, Massachusetts.] 



A NEW MOTORCYCLE GRIP. 



The strenuous hold on the handle bar grips the motorcycle 

 rider is often compelled to maintain is one of the chief sources of 

 weariness and riders will gratefully appreciate the motorcycle 

 grip illustrated herewith. Made with an inner lining throughout 

 of fabric, it is especially tough and strong, and cannot break off 

 at the end of the bar. This has been a frequent source of trouble 

 with the present form of construction, the grips breaking and 

 separating. F.vcn the relief part of the grip, which is not sup- 

 ported by the bar and is subject to severe strain, has been 

 strengthened in the grip illustrated by building up with several
