A NEW STEAM HOSE— THE -ULTIMATE." 



The wise buyer wants to keep himself posted on the best 

 sources of supply, and particularly 111 regard to goods for 

 special purposes. Steam hose that will render satisfactory serv- 

 ice is troublesome to make, especially the kind that is used 

 for high pressure. The average buyer really expects more than 

 is reasonable from this line. He thinks that steam hose ought to 

 last as long for conducting steam as water hose does for con- 

 ducting water, but when one stops to think that steam hose is 



"ULTIMATE" 



STEAM 



HOSE 



vulcanized in less than an hour at low pressure, it is easy to 

 understand that with the high service pressure of the present 

 day that the hose must quickly deteriorate. A new brand on 

 the market — new in construction and radically different in the 

 matter of the rubber tube — is said to meet the growing demand 

 for high pressure steam hose. The strength is far beyond any 

 possibility of service requirements, and the new tube composition 

 seems to defy the action of steam. It is the "Ultimate" brand, 

 produced by the Voorhees Rubber Manufacturing Co. (Jersey 

 City, New Jersey). 



A NEW RUBBER CEMENT. 



The St. Louis Rubber Cement Company are putting a new 

 cement on the market, for which they report very large sales and 

 re-orders. They call it "All Purpose" and for repairing automo- 

 bile inner tubes or any rubber goods they claim it a very superior 

 article, as they guarantee the repair to withstand any usage, 

 regardless of heat or cold. This cement is used without heat 

 or acid. 



TIRE TRADE NOTES. 



The Converse Rubber Shoe Co. have broken ground at Mai- 

 den, Massachusetts, for an addition to their plant in the shape 

 of a two story warehouse 50' x 100.' 



Yatman Rubber Co. (Newark, New Jersey) send out a calen- 

 dar for 1910 embellished with a picture, "A Pot Boiler," which, 

 while homely, is all the more attractive and true to life. 



As illustrating the activity of the rubber industry just now 

 and the demand for labor, it is stated that there appeared re- 

 cently on the bulletin of the Massachusetts State Bureau of 

 Employment the announcement "One thousand rubber and tennis 

 shoe makers wanted."
