RUBBEB-SOLED FoDTBALL SlIOE 



FOOTBALL SHOE WITH RUBBER SOLE AND CALKS 



Now that the season for football contests is approaching, those 

 who are interested in this game will appreciate the novel features 



of the football shoe il- 

 lustrated here. It is not 

 1 nly practical but good- 

 looking as well and 

 should please the most 

 fastidious player on the 

 score of appearance. 



The sole of this shoe 

 is made of a composi- 

 tion containing rubber, 

 wl'.ich makes it imper- 

 vious to water, no matter 

 how wet the gridiron 

 may be, while it will not 

 soften or lose its shape 

 when the ground is hard. 

 The sole and cleats are 

 molded in one piece by a 

 patented process, so that the soles are pliable, but the cleats are 

 harder and lirmer than leather and have the added advantage of 

 being integrally fastened to the sole. When worn down, how- 

 ever, they can be easily replaced. These soles are stitched on so 

 there are no nails to hurt the feet. — Whitchcll-Sheill Co., 

 Brooklyn aveiue and La Brosse street, Detroit, Michigan. 



SUGAR-SERVER WITH RUBBER FOOT 



The "Spcnlo" sugar-server is douhtle,>s one of the economical 

 devices evolved during those conservation days of war when public 



'■ restaurants as well as private individuals 



were allowed to serve "only one teaspoonful 

 of sugar per cup per meal," for it dispenses 

 a teaspoonful at a tip. It is made of crystal 

 glass with fluted sides, and has a top of 

 heavily-nickeled copper. There is an auto- 

 matic seal in the form of a ball-stopper 

 which makes it entirely sanitary but does 

 not in any way interfere with dispensing. 

 Lest it break or chip when it comes in 

 contact with "Spotless Town" stoneware 

 tables, or lest it scratch Madame's polished 

 mahogany, there is provided a rubber foot, 

 not shown in the picture. — Spenglcr-Loomis 

 Manufacturing Co., 58 East Washington 

 street, Chicago, Illinois.

USE RUG-LINER AND SLIP NO MORE 



The man or woman who is fond of polished floors and hand- 

 some rugs and is e.xpertly wary of their slipperiness will be glad 

 to know about the patented "Worcester" non-slip rug-liner il- 

 lustrated here. It is made of a net-like fabric, coated with pun 

 rubber, and is fastened to the under side of the rug where it 

 frictionally clings to the floor under pressure of the font, tlnis 



"WORCESTEB ' No.N-Slip Rvg Li.nER 



preventing slipping and providing a safe, unyielding surface on 

 which to walk. It does not in any way change the appearance 

 of the rug nor interfere with brushing or dusting. — Worcester 

 Rubber Textile Co., 312 Park Building, Worcester, Massachu- 

 setts. 



WOODEN PONY WITH RUBBER-CAPPED TAIL 



.\nother use of rubber on the part of the toymakers is a 

 rubber-tipped tail to a combined 'teeter" and hobbyhorse. 

 When the tail with 

 the rubber tip is placed 

 on the floor it is con- 

 verted into a pony. 

 .As the child straddles 

 it, and when the tail 

 is in an upright posi- 

 tion, the body slips 

 forward in the scat 

 and the to>- moves 

 along; then the tail 

 falls into its original 

 position again. This 

 gives the same excit- 

 i n g sensation a s 

 though actually horse- 

 back riding. 



Firmly fastening 

 the tail to the rear 

 axle with a chain re- 

 sults in a kiddie car, tiie "Rockev Roller" 

 coaster or a scooter. 



Or the tail can be used as a handle to push the toy about, thus 

 affording an unlimited amount of fun. 



This combination toy is of hard wood, with solid wheels 

 highly varnished and decorated a brilliant red. The spring seat 

 instantly adjusts itself to the child's height and protects the 

 tender little body from shocks. The steering drive is of inde- 

 structible metal and the rear axle is strong enough to support 

 the weight of two children. — Ames-Van.Aken Manufacturing

HOPE FOR FAT ANKLES IN "PILLOW-WELT" BOOT 



That "fashion is so much kinder to some women than to others," 

 as a recent copy of a hiunorous publication indicated by a clever 

 picture, is to lie taken under advisement when it becomes a ques- 

 tion of boots for women with 

 fat ankles. This woman may 

 now appear as carefully and 

 .smartly booted as her more- 

 favored sister, while at the 

 same time she is perfectly com- 

 fortable and can be assured 

 that her boots are designed 

 with special consideration for 

 her particular needs. 



A Canadian manufacturer 

 has produced the "Lady Don- 

 gola Pillow- 

 Welt" fat- 

 ankle boot, 

 made with 

 good quality 

 dongola lea- 

 ther uppers, 

 soles of 8 

 and 10-iron 

 oak leather, 

 llthL litted with 

 special felt 

 pillow cushions and high-grade rubber heels made by Gutta 

 Percha & Rubber Limited, 357 St. James street, Montreal, Quebec. 

 This boot is made in E, double EE, or triple EEE width, in 

 Blucher, bal or button styles, with plain toe or tip, and cither six 

 or seven inches high.— Globe Shoe Limited, Terrebonne, Quebec, 

 Canada.
