THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP 



NEW YORK

 month ago and prices remain nominal and practically un- 

 changed. The firming up of prices for crude rubber has had the 

 e Tect of avv;.kening le. cwcd l:ope. which, however, is destined to 

 ili. appo ntnient Rubber scrap and reclaimed rubber prices can 

 only recover with the renewal of activity in the industrial field 

 in general. These materials are special and subsidiary and bound 

 to be most active wlicn competitive ruhljer goods manufacturing 

 is in full swing. 



.'^crap n-etals and paper slock appear to be tlie present salvation 

 of the scrap men. The following prices are all nominal. There 

 is really no market.

 being ofifered to the trade. It contains gum, cement and a metal 

 rasp for roughening the tube without danger of injury. The 

 "Han-de-Pach" cement is said to contain such portions of solvent 

 and curing ingredients that it can be used with small portable 

 vulcanizcrs. "Han-de-Pach" stretches with the tube and will not 

 come off, if properly applied. The outfit is neatly and attractively 

 packed and retails at a popular price. — The Palmer Tire Co.,
