DURABLE RUBBER APRON 



THOSE INTERESTED in protecting clothing while moving about 

 kitchen and kitchenette will be interested in a new and at- 

 tractive household apron made of pretty percales, rubberized

 not having the protection of the 

 rubberized back. They are made 

 in a large assortment of colors and 

 patterns, and the manufacturer 

 guarantees them not to crack if 

 the directions given with each 

 apron are followed closely. Sizes 

 for women are 36 inches long by 



24 inches wide, and for children 



25 inches long by 18 inches wide. 

 Aprons are also made in a tan, 



durable base fabric rubberized on 

 both sides, with a large pattern 

 of double thickness at the wear- 

 ing area, for both men and women

WEBBED SWIMMING GLOVE TO INDUCE CONFIDENCE 



Of interest to swimmers and would-be swimmers is the "Dux- 

 fut" webbed glove for 

 swimming. This glove is 

 made in a two-piece 

 mold, the back being 

 flat and the inside con- 

 forming to the shape of 

 the hand, the result being 

 a webbed rubber glove 

 with a flat back and a 

 web between the thumb 

 and each finger. The 

 glove shapes to a fit 

 about the wrist. Anoth- 

 er style of glove is made 

 of rubberized silk, con- 

 sisting of a flat back and 

 an inside one-piece cut- 

 out for thumb and four 

 fingers, being stitched or 

 cemented upon the back. 

 In the illustration the 

 young woman is wearing 

 the rubberized silk glove 

 while the man, who is 

 the inventor, has on the 

 pure rubber one. The 



idea of these gloves is to give confidence to swimmers and begin- 

 ners, capitalizing the tendency to forget and spread the fingers 

 while swimming. — A. K. Zawadzki, Wrightstown, New Jersey.

A RUBBER TOY BAGPIPE 



For the younger boys who delight in the bagpipes as the High- 

 landers march by, the "Eagle Brand" bagpipe will hold a great 

 fascination. It is substantially made and guaranteed against de- 

 fects in workmanship. The bags are of the finest quality extra 

 heavy weight rubber which insures a long period of service. 

 The pipes are of selected maple, highly polished and shellacked, 



and their special and careful construction is such that their opera- 

 tion is simple and easy. The chanter has four notes while the 

 drone pipe supplies one continuous sound as does the original 

 Scotch bagpipe. A neat silk tassel attached to the chanter sup- 

 ports the drone pipe in proper position. Though having half

the notes of the original bagpipe, the tones closely resemble those 

 of the prototype. — The Eagle Rubber Co., Ashland, Ohio. 



RIBBED CORD TIRE ADDED TO LINE 



To make its line more nearly complete, the manufacturer of 

 "Quaker" tires has added a ribbed cord tire with ebony-black 

 tread, which is built oversize. The cross-section being much 

 larger than that of fabric tires pre- 

 scribes an oversize tube, also. The 

 size of the tire provides more air 

 space and a thicker tread, increasing 

 the mileage, but at the same time in- 

 suring easier riding. "Quaker" tires 

 have been tested under road condi- 

 tions of all kinds, on dififerent makes 

 of cars, to demonstrate that they were 

 ' properly constructed to withstand the 

 varying road conditions a tire would 

 encounter. 



The company also manufactures a 

 ribbed fabric tire, which has an ebony- 

 black tread, besides the "T. T. T." 

 non-skid fabric tire, the "T. T. T." 

 non-skid cord described in our March 

 issue, and "Quaker Multi-Tubes," 

 made by the laminated process in 

 which a number of layers of rubber 

 are placed layer upon layer and inte- 

 grally vulcanized. — Quaker City Rub- 

 ber Co., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

"BRITE MAWNIN" JAR RINGS

 hint, to home canners to prepare for 

 action is the rubber jar ring. Among 

 the newest brands, recently trade marked, is "F'rite Mawnin," 

 which may be had in red, white, or gray. — .Anibuy Products Co., 

 3Sth and Morgan streets, Chicago, Illinois.

Many manufacturers are earnestly endeavoring to meet 

 the desires of the insatiable youngsters of today for novelty 

 toys, "Ketson" toys made up in dolls and the most popular 

 animals are charming additions to the playroom. These toys 

 have for their foundation two rubber balls, the larger one 

 for the body and the smaller one for the head. The balls,
