STANDARD OIL CO. ACCUSED OF IKFRINGING PATENTS. 



Suit has been commenced by the Standard Asphalt and Rub- 

 ber Co. against the Standard Oil Co., for infringement of patents 

 owned by the complainant corporation since 1898, on methods of 

 treating asphaltum with petroleum, whereby cost of production 

 is greatly decreased. By the unlawful use of these patents, it is 

 alleged that the oil company has been able to compete unfairly 

 with the asphalt and rubber company.

Canad.\'s latest rubber factory, which we have before men- 

 tioned, is the Independent Rubber Company, Limited, situated 

 at Mcrritton, Ontario. At first thought it seems far away from 

 the American centre of things until one learns that the factory 

 is only about 10 miles from Niagara Falls when it seems much

nearer. The works are driven by water power entirely and 

 equipped with the very latest and best rubber shoe machinery. 

 The factory has a capacity of some 10.000 pairs a day. Two men 

 well known to the American rubber trade are connected with it — 

 Mr. James Robinson, who is president, and Mr. R. F. Foote,
