RESPIRATOR WITH HOOD, FOR FUMES AND DUST 



THE REQUIREMENTS of the industrial world today for protective 

 equipment and clothing for its workers have resulted in the 

 perfecting of a number of different types of gas-masks or 

 respirators for use under specified conditions. The one illustrated 



is the sponge filter 

 type for dust and 

 light fumes. The 

 hood is furnished in 

 light dust -tight cloth 

 for dust conditions 

 or air-tight acid- 

 proof cloth for work 

 in fumes, spattering 

 acid, etc. The hood 

 is attached to the La- 

 France respirator 

 which features the 

 rubber air face 

 cushion adjustable to 

 all shapes of faces. 

 This rubber cushion is 

 removable and the 

 respirator is adjusted 

 by a strap with slid- 

 ing buckle outside the 

 hood. This hood is 

 used in poisonous dust, 

 fume or acid conditions such as aniline, lead, etc., where face, 

 head and neck covering as well as breathing protection is required. 

 The skirt of the hood may be worn under the coat or other 

 clothing if desired. — .^merican-LaFrance Fire Engine Co., Inc.,

GOOD-LOOKING BABY PANTS 



The variety of styles in rubber pants seems to be endless, and 

 each new one puts forth additional claims to superiority besides 

 the one that is common to them all — the entire suitability of sheet- 

 rubber of good quality as the prescribed material out of which 

 thej' are made. The ones pictured here, called the "Everychild," 

 are manufactured by the same company as the "Everychild'' wad- 

 ing bloomers described in our issue of August 1, 1920. They are

forcement of these shirrings, which are marked by machinery 

 to look like sewed shirrings, as v/ell as the reinforcement of the 

 seams, is vulcanized and no stitching is used. No strings or but- 

 tons are used, the entire garment being rubber. Particular atten- 

 tion is directed to the shape which, it is claimed, is different from 

 previous models. The garment is made in three sizes. — Arthur

RUBBER-TIRED AUTOMOBILE FOR LITTLE FOLKS 



The joy of owning an automobile of your own is not confined to 

 "children of an older growth." The little folks can now ride in 

 rubber-tired comfort on non-skid wheels, with head-lights and 

 windshields and all the accessories that go with grown-up auto- 

 mobiles. The juvenile automobile illustrated here is equipped with 

 J^-inch corrugated solid rubber tires, mounted on 12-inch steel 

 wire wheels. It is claimed that these rubber-tired wheels im- 

 prove the appearance of 

 the car and add a touch 

 of realism ; are quieter 

 and prevent the well- 

 known rattling sound of 

 untired wheels ; and 

 make the machine run 

 more smoothly and easily 

 as well as more comfort- 

 ably. 



This company is also 

 using the corrugated 

 Rubber-Tired Juvenile Auto soijj rubber tires On its 



coaster wagons, having been the originator of this idea, as it also 

 was of using pneumatic tires on baby carriages. — The American- 

 National Company, Toledo, Ohio.
