THE OBLONG RUBBER BUTTON FOR CARTERS 



A new teatiiio of certain well-known garters is tlu- dlilong rub- 

 ber liutt.m clasp used on the "Velvet (irip" hi. si suppMtcr aiu! also 

 on the "Xatty-Pad Bos- 

 ton" garter, a newly 

 trade-marked style 

 which the manufacturer 

 has sold so far only in 

 South America. The 

 advantages of the new 

 style of button, accord- 

 ing to the makers, are 

 that no single thread 

 can be overstrained, 

 owing to the large 

 n u m b e r of threads

 clasped around the oblong shank. For this rea- 



"N'.^tiv-Pad" 

 (7arter button 



son no ordinary strain can injure the most delicate stocking, and 

 dropped stitches are reduced to a minimum. — George Frost Co.,

FOUNTAIN STENCIL BRUSH 



A convenience for shipping departments is a hard rubber foun- 

 tain stencil brush for marking or stenciling packing cases for 

 freight and express shipments. The 

 ink is contained in the cylindrical 

 hard rubber handle of the brush, 

 somewhat on the principle of a foun- 

 tain pen. Below the screw plug 

 •which closes the barrel is a pendu- 

 lum which regulates the flow of ink. 

 Rubbing the brush across the stencil 

 moves the pendulum, allowing the 

 ink to reach the bristle tip. New 

 bristle tips can be obtained. This 

 brush is patented in the United 

 States and foreign countries. — Gar-

PARAU-EL. SUSPENSION WHEEL 



In order to distribute the load re- 

 mote from the center of this wheel 

 and as near the rim as possible, the 

 inventor devised a series of flanged 

 housings for the spiral spring cush- 

 ioning elements. These keep the 

 springs in alinement with respect to 

 other parts of the wheel. Within these springs is suspended the 

 lixed, spider portion, fastened to the rublier-cushioncd hub. The 

 hub cushion acts to keep the rim in concentric relation to the

center and prevents convulsive vibration of the springs around 

 the rim. Within the spider plates around the hub are large hard 



liber washers which function against .steel plates and serve to 

 check the lateral displacement of the rim in the event of skidding. 

 There being no friction during the normal operation of the wheel, 

 this is only a precautionary measure against severe 

 lateral thrusts. The wheel thus takes care of all 

 vertical, torsional, tangential, lateral, and radial 

 thrusts. It is said that tires mounted on this wheel 

 last longer and that more mileage is made on a 

 given quantity of gasoline with this wheel equipped 

 w'ith an ordinary solid rubber tire, than with a rigid 

 wheel equipped with a pneumatic tire. — Robertson

 York Citv.

Pen 



A SELF-FILLING FOUNTAIN PEN 



A fountain pen that will never "sin" is the 

 manufacturer's quaint description of the "Master." 

 a self-filling model with patented features that pre- 

 vent leaking, ink- 

 ing the lingers, and 

 kindred faults. The barrel is of 

 hard rubber, with especially large 

 ink reservoir, so that many letters 

 can be written without refilling. 

 The pen is a 14-karat gold one.—

 New York City. 



JuNc Arch Brace 



ELASTIC ARCH BRACE 



A corrective appliance, said to 

 be superior to the ordinary arch 

 supports, is made of elastic u ebbing, reinforced at the shaped 

 front part with a stitched strip of fabric. The 2-inch "XXX" 

 and the 3-inch "Miracle" are light in weight and comparatively 

 thin. Patented three years ago, and recently put on the market, 

 druggists and shoe dealers now sell this brace. — The George H. 

 Jung Co., Cincinnati. Oliio. 



A FABRIC AND CORD TIRE 



.Another cord tire lor wbicli the makers claim special features 

 is the "Fabri-Cord" tire, which is absolutely guaranteed against 



stone-bruise blowouts. "Fabri-Cord" tires 

 and cord plies in their construc- 

 tion, having two inner plies of 

 heavy fabric next a cushion of 

 live rubber from bead to bead, 

 then tw'O plies of cord for resili- 

 ency, two more plies of fabric. 

 two more of cord, one of fabric 

 to prevent loosening, and outside 

 of these a rubber cushion ply, a 

 breaker and a long-wearing 

 heavy tread. This unique con- 

 struction is shown in the accom- 

 panying illustration, and is pe- 

 culiar to the "l'"ahri-Cord" tire. Il claims 

 from every ounce of rubber in the tread. — T

THE "CUDDLE-UP" HOT-WATER DOLL 



The "Cuddle-Up" doll is a doll-shaped rubber hot-water 

 bottle with a very warm spot in its heart for little babies. It 

 is practical and its efficiency is in no way spoiled by its odd 

 shape. It is provided with a knitted suit that serves as clothes 

 and cover, adding to its comforting powers when placed in 

 baby's carriage or at the little feet. The "Cuddle-Up" doll will 

 doubtless prove a very popular gift, one that can be appreciated 

 by the mother and loved and cherished by the child. — Alden R. 

 Chambers, 757 Boylston street, Boston, Massachusetts.
