THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



245 



lions of its kind. The general arrangements, including the menu, 

 music and cabaret, were all of noteworthy class that reflected 

 with credit the management of John W. Maguire who also offi- 

 ciated most acceptably as toastmaster. 



The principal speaker of the evening was John Fletcher of the 

 Fort Dearborn National Bank of Chicago, who dealt exhaustively 

 with financial, industrial and agricultural conditions of the West. 

 He delivered a most informing speech, which was enthusiastically 

 applauded. The other speakers were Theodore Eugene Smith of 

 the "India Rubber Review," who spoke in his usual happy and in- 

 structive vein which carried a strong appeal to all those present. 

 E. F. Pfaff of The India Rubber World referred in a congratu- 

 latory manner to the marked progress of the association and the 

 very genial character of the meeting and dinner. 



Beth the meeting and the banquet demonstrated that, while 

 the Association is still in the yearling class, it is in every other 

 respect well grown and amply constituted to rank with the best 

 organzations of its kind. Following is a list of those attending 

 the meeting and banquet :

CANADIAN NOTES. 



The Mount Royal Rubber Co. opened its new factory building 

 on Messier street, Montreal, Quebec, with an informal house- 

 warming on the evening of December 5, 1919. About eight hundred 

 guests attended, including officials, executives, and employes of 

 the oflices, factories and field organizations of Ames Holden Mc- 

 Cready, Limited, The Ames Holden Tire Co., Limited, and Ames 

 Holden Felt Co., Limited, as well as of the Mount Royal Com- 

 pany. Dancing followed an informal reception and refreshments 

 were served at midnight on the third floor of the bu'lding. 



The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. of Canada, Limited, ac- 

 cording to report, will build a $75,000 plant in Regina, Saskatch- 

 ewan, to serve as western headquarters in Canada. 



The Brunswick-Balke Collender Co., Hanna avenue, Toronto, 

 Ontario, is reported to have bought a factory site at Wood- 

 stock, the same province, where it will construct a new plant to 

 cost $200,000. 



The Imperial Tire Co. is the new name of what was formerly 

 the Imperial Vulcanizing Co., S69 Yonge street, Toronto, On- 

 tario, the change being in name only. This concern is Toronto 

 distributer for the Gates half-sole tire. 



> Extensive plant increases are being made at the Sherbrooke, 

 Quebec, factory of the Canadian-Connecticut Cotton Mills, 

 Limited, manufacturers of Sea Island, Egyptian, peeler and 

 Arizona cotton fabrics. New funds to the extent of $5,000,000 

 have been arranged for and it is understood that some very im- 

 portant and strong connections are identified with the enter- 

 prise. With the increased facilities to be in operation in 1920 

 the plant will have a capacity of 13,000,000 pounds or more of 

 tire fabric. This is considered to be in excess of the consump- 

 tion of the country, but it is the desire of the company to make 

 ample provision for the future growth of the Dominion. Mean- 

 while the surplus product will be exported, active preparations 

 for this latter branch of the business already being under way. 

 Provision has also been made for another large extension in 

 1921. 



The ofiices of the company are at 15 Park Row, New York 

 City, and the officers are: Harry L. Burrage, president; Tracy 

 S. Lewis, treasurer ; R. J. Caldwell, chairman ; and Obadiah 

 Butler, secretary-treasurer. 



Chicle concessions in Central America have long been Ex- 

 ploited by chewing gum manufacturers. Now comes the ac- 

 quiring of balata concessions in Venezuela by the English firm 

 of R. & J. Dick, pioneers in gutta percha and balata manufac- 

 tures. The next step to assure guttas for belting, golf balls, 

 cables and chewing gum will doubtless be the growing of trees 

 or shrubs capable of producing gum plastic somewhere in the 

 .'XiTiericas.
