SOME ATTRACTIVE BLOTTER ADVERTISING. 



The Boston Rubber Shoe Co. has sent out to the trade a set 

 of eight or ten different blotters showing some handsome pictorial 

 scenes and advertising a number of the popular boots and shoes 

 made by this famous old company ; among them the "Warrior" 

 all-duck boot, the "Storm Slipper" with a service heel, and the 

 "Norwood," a croquet for women and children. These blotters 

 are not only useful but artistic. Jobbers can get them, in limited 

 quantities, by applying to the company's advertising department, 

 42 Broadway, New Y'ork. 



POLACK TYRE AND RUBBER CO. 



The Polack Tyre and Rubber Co., Broadway and Fifty-ninth

 State of New Y'ork. has taken over all the assets and assumed 

 all the liabilities of the old Polack Tyre Co., recently dissolved. 

 The capital stock of the new company is $700,000, of which $200,- 

 000 is preferred stock, issued for cash at par, and represents the 

 new capital invested. This reorganization is for the purpose of 

 providing better distributing facilities and for increasing the sell- 

 ing organization. The company's manufacturing arrangements 

 will probably be improved by the erection of a new plant.
