 1 ihitcd its various types of tire-\\ rappin.g machines, the capa- 

 bilities of which were demonstrated by Mr. Pierce, hiinself, wdio 

 was in charge of the stand. This company also showed its wire- 

 wrapping machine. The modus o/^eraiidi of these Pierce devices 

 is generally known to rubber manufacturers in the United States. 

 This very economical and durable method of wrapping is elTected 

 by doubling the edge of the paper as it is applied and the wrap- 

 ping of an adhesive band aroimd the tire in cross relation to the 

 spiral wrapjiing. It is easily ap|)lied, and removed with equal 

 facility. These machines are thoroughly iirotected by patents.
