EXPANSION OF THE NEW JERSEY CAR SPRING COMPANY. 



The Chicago branch of the New Jersey Car Spring and Rubber 

 Co. has been moved to a new and more spacious office and 

 salesrooms at No. 173 Randolph street, where will be carried 

 a complete stock of the company's various lines of mechanical 

 rubber goods, as well as the new "Carpringco" automobile tire 

 in all sizes, insuring prompt shipments throughout the West. 

 This office is under the management of Mr. C. G. Race, as- 

 sisted by an increased staff of salesmen. Mr. J. A. Hull, as 

 manager of the company's fire hose department for the West, 

 has also made his headquarters at the same address. 



To further facilitate the distribution of their products, the 

 Car Spring company have established offices at St. Louis, Omaha, 

 and in the Franklin building, at Philadelphia, the latter having 

 been put in charge of Mr. Joseph S. Fireng, Jr. They are 

 very shortly to open a branch in Boston, under the manage- 

 ment of Mr. Frank V. Stewart. Mr. Stewart has had a business 

 career which has given him a wide acquaintance in the rubber 

 trade, especially in the East, he having been connected for- 

 merly for many years with a prominent rubber house. 



The New Jersey Car Spring and Rubber Co., whose main 

 offices and works are at Jersey City, New Jersey, was established 

 in 1858. 



AN ELECTRIC TIME SYSTEM. 



There has long existed a need of a reliable and complete 

 electric time system in large rubber mills, the satisfying of 

 which seems to have been accomplished by the Standard Electric 

 Time Co., as illustrated by their Catalogue No. 32. The most 

 interesting feature of this system is their time stamp, electrically 

 operated and controlled by a master clock, insuring uniformity 

 of time throughout the plant, and eliminating all questions as 

 to correctness and the difference of time as recorded by the 

 clocks in the different departments, as is the case with the old 

 system. 



MR. GILBERT GOES TO THE PACIFIC COAST. 



William H. Gilbert, who had been treasurer of L. Candee & 

 Co. (New Haven, Connecticut) since July 1, 1908, was lately ap-

 company, incorporated under the laws of Washington state,

Mr. Gilbert began his connection with the trade 21 years ago 

 as receiving clerk at the Millville factory of the Woonsocket

 the Joseph Banigan Rubber Co., in addition to which he for 

 several years audited the books of the branch offices of the
