THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



November 1, 1920 



Wire, nails, tacks, pebbles and glass, the cause of 90 per cent 

 of the punctures and blow-outs in air tubes, arc said to have no 

 effect on this tube. The maker also claims a minimum wear 

 on the casing, indicating that any casing reasonably well built of 



good material will serve in- 

 definitely when e(|uipped with 

 this tube. — Hercules Rubber 

 Corporation, 908 Union Central

j^^ ~^ fl^B^^ FISHWIFE'S RUBBER APRON 



HHna /.S^BHHMBI a practical waterproof gar- 

 ment is the "Fishbrand" apron 

 which was originally intended 

 for use of fishwives and market 

 women. Its useful features will 

 be appreciated, however, by all 

 vomen who have wet, dirty 

 work to do. The apron is made 

 of single rubber sheeting in 

 serviceable black and entirely 



covers the front of the wearer's dress. It will not wet through 



and can be cleaned quickly with a damp cloth or sponge. It is a 



useful article without being very heavy 



or cumbersome to the wearer.

RUBBER ACID CONTAINER 



Acids of necessity require a special 

 -container when being carried about in 

 manufacturing processes. Hard rubber 

 is one of the best materials for these con- 

 tainers, as it does not corrode under the 

 -action of acid, is practically unbreakable 

 a:id of little weight. A particularly 

 'well-constructed acid bucket is here illus- 

 trated. It is made in two styles, one 

 entirely of rubber and the other having 

 double rubber walls reinforced with 

 metal rim at top and bottom, with metal 

 side hooks and rubber handle. The 

 metal-reinforced bucket will probably 

 stand more abuse, but the one of all 

 rubber has no parts to corrode by the action of the acid contents. 



Both the "Fishbrand" rubber apron and the acid bucket are 

 manufactured by the same company.— W. II. Salisbury Co., Inc., 

 308 West Madison street, Chicago, Illinois.

for women, called the "Protecto' sanitary bloomer. More venti- 

 lating holes in the sides remove an objection which many women 

 have made to the use of all-rubber bloomers. The "Protecto" is 

 the popular step-in style, full enough for comfort, with no ob- 

 jectionable bulkiness about waist or hips, and comes in three 

 sizes — small, medium and large. This garment is protected by 

 United States patent No. 1,353.750, listed elsewhere in this issue; 

 also by trade jnark \o. 131,714. — Rubberized Sheeting and 

 Specialty Co., Inc., 221-227 Fourth avenue. New York City. 



NEW PROTECTIVE GARMENTS 



Rubber bloomers have become an indispensable part of the 

 modern infant's layette, "Quickslip" baby bloomers are manu- 

 factured especially to fill 

 ^ the need of a cool, sani- 



tary, waterproof g a r - 

 ment, easily removed and 

 cleansed, and with no 

 buttons, strings, tapes, or 

 pins. Practically in one 

 piece, of carefully se- 

 lected all-rubber sheeting 

 in the natural color, they 

 are durable and will 

 stand a great amount of 

 use. The vents at the 

 sides permit air to enter 

 freely, thus preventing 

 over-heating and conse- 

 quent discomfort. A special feature is the gathered top, cemented 

 without stitching to a strip of rubber. 



The same manufacturer puts out a similarly made large model

A SAFETY APPLIANCE FOR YOUR CAR 



nutomobilo accidents have been traced directly to snow 

 or rain on the windshield or the glaring headlights of an ap- 

 proaching car. Protec- 

 tion against such danger 

 is assured by the maker 

 of the "Budd Motor- 

 Visor," an awning-like 

 contrivance constructed 

 with welded steel frame. 

 Over this is stretched a 

 detachable and cleanable 

 cover of rubber-covered 

 drill which may be had 

 in various color combi- 

 nations to harmonize 

 with the enamel of the 

 car. The "Budd Motor- 

 Visor" fits all cars, is easily installed and detached, and can be 

 adjusted to any angle. — Alastic Tire Cushion Co., 1421 Locust

SOIWE TIRES FROIVl THE MIDDLE WEST 



Seven points of superior merit are credited to Wayne Rough- 

 shod tires by the maker, who claims to have eliminated rim 

 cuts, tread separation, side wall cracking, bead separation, stone 

 bruises and ply separation, 

 thereby obtaining long life 

 for the tire. 



The Wayne ribbed tread 

 'is a distinctive design. 

 Wayne casings are all con- 

 structed with a heavy wall 



15 f"^ i I^hI "^ resilient anti-friction 

 r— ' liHl 1 cushion stock between plies, 

 which is claimed to insure 

 elasticity commensurate with 

 the average service condi- 

 tions and to maintain a low 

 temperature. The danger of 

 bead separation is overcome 

 by the manufacturers' proc- 

 ess of tying the bead firmly 

 where it belongs, turning 

 the plies of fabric over heel 

 and point and protecting the 

 core from all angles. Great- 

 est care has been exercised 

 and every scientific principle 

 used to produce a strictly 



high-grade long-lived. tire which the maker says will exceed the 



6,000-mile basis of adjustment.— Fort Wayne Tire & Rubber

PERFECTLY PACKED TUBES IN THE "EIFFICIENT" BOX 



The value of an inner tube to the buyer depends largely 

 upon the manner in which it has been packed. An unused tube 

 can be "box worn" to the point of uselessness by careless pack-
