THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



// 



serves as an excellent paint on account of its substantial un- 

 saponifiability, I prefer to not introduce any drying oil, but use the 

 simple solution of run resin. There is no objection, however, to 

 the employment of pigment ground in a drying oil, as the small 

 percentage of saponifiable oil introduced in this manner is not 

 detrimental, because when applied to the concrete this oil is so 

 largely surrounded and embedded, as it were, in unsaponifiable 

 material, that the alkalis of cement do not affect it in the usual 

 way. When a flatting effect is desired on the concrete work for 

 example, the addition to the oil of the aluminum soap of Chinese 

 wood oil, containing aluminum eleomargarate, may be used to 

 advantage in an amount of 5 per cent, or 10 per cent., and if 

 desired, 2 per cent, or 3 per cent., for e.xample, of ceresin wax 

 may be introduced. 



"The resin run at 600 degrees F., more or less, as above de- 

 scribed, may be mixed with a quantity of the raw resin and a 

 solution made of this which affords an excellent waterproofing 

 medium for porous stone, brick and concrete, and is usually of 

 lighter color than the solutions run of resin alone. Furthermore 

 the presence of the run resin seems to lend stability to the raw 

 resin in solution rendering the latter less liable to separate 

 when exposed to low temperatures. For such waterproofing 

 applications, a solution of raw resin, one part in two parts of 

 benzol may be mixed with a solution of equal parts of the run 

 resin and benzol. Three volumes of the raw resin solution to one 

 volume of the run resin solution is a very satisfactory propor- 

 tion. Or the composition may be made by heating 125 lbs. jelu- 

 tong resin for one hour at 610 degrees F., adding 200 lbs. more 

 resin and when this is melted, 75 gal. to 100 gal. of benzol, or a 

 mixture of benzol and benzin are introduced."

HEW LASTS IN EtrBBEE FOOTWEAR. 



The United States Rubber Co. has just distributed a series of 

 ten different eight-page folders for ten of its different brands, 

 the folders being entitled "Descriptions and Illustrations ol 

 Styles," made respectively by the American Rubber Co., The Jo- 

 seph Banigan Rubber Co., Boston Rubber Shoe Co., L. Candee 

 & Co., Goodyear's India Rubber Glove Manufacturing Co., Good- 

 year's Metallic Rubber Shoe Co., Lycoming Rubber Co., Maiden 

 Rubber Shoe Co., Meyer Rubber Co., and the Woonsocket Rub- 

 ber Co. These folders, which are 4x8 inches in size, illustrate 

 about a dozen different lasts, giving side views and sole views. 

 Most of the illustrations shown are of sandals, croquets and the 

 high-vamp storm rubber ; though some arctics, clogs and foot- 



holds are shown. These folders are intended chiefly to inform 

 the trade of new lasts designed since the last catalogues were 

 issued. There is sufficient uniformity in the character of the 

 goods displayed in the dift'erent folders to show that in a gen- 

 eral way the new lasts have the high nob toe generally known 

 as the "Rino" toe and the high heel in both men's and women's 

 shoes. 



The four illustrations given herewith show the side view 

 and the sole view of the men's "Rino" and the women's "Elsie"

in the Glove brand, and sufliciently illustrate the general nature 

 of the goods described in these folders. The "Rino" last is 

 made for the men's broad high-toe and high-heel shoe, generally 

 known as the "Pug last" in leather shoes. The "Elsie" last has

an extremely high heel and toe to fit the ultra fashionable 

 leather creation usually known as the "Stage" style. The "Rino" 

 toe is a model for which there is at present the greatest demand 

 as the leather shoes affected by men, especially in the west and 

 northwest, are made with high nob toe and high heel. The 

 "Elsie" last has about the same characteristics in the women's 

 line as the "Rino" in the men's line. The demand for this model 

 is also very general.
