THE RUBBER TRADE IN NEW JERSEY. 



By Our Regular Correspondent. 

 TEENTON NOTES. 



THE Trenton rubber .m.\nue.\cturers began to feel some un- 

 easiness over the recent railroad strike because of the 

 scarcity of coal and the fact that raw materials might run short. 

 The Empire Rubber & Tire Corp. was the only rubber plant that 

 was compelled to shut down for a couple of days because of the 

 scarcity of coal. The plant is now in full operation again. The 

 various rubber companies have their warehouses overcrowded 

 with goods due to the strike and it will take some time lo get 

 the product started on the road. Meantime, customers were 

 compelled to wait for the shipment of supplies. Fortunately the 

 Trenton concerns had enough raw materials on hand lo tide 

 them over the strike. 



Hyman A. Rosenthal, proprietor of the Xearpara Rubber Co., 

 79 Prince street, Trenton, whose plant was destroyed by fire 3 

 short time ago, has awarded a contract for a new structure. The 

 main plant will be constructed of steel, one story in height, and 

 will measure lOO by 125 feet. There will also be a boiler room 

 and power plant attached. The company expects to be ready 

 for operation again by June 1. The machinery, whicli was badly 

 damaged by flames, will be overhauled and rebuilt by the William 

 R. Thropp & Sons Co., of Trenton. The fire entailed a loss of 

 between $90,000 and $100,000. A temporary office building has 

 been erected to take care of business until the new works is 

 completed. 



Andrew Wurfflein, father of Peter E. Wurfflein, Canadian rep- 

 resentative of the Xew England Rubber Co., died recently at his 

 home in Trenton. 



John A. Lambert, treasurer of the Acme Rubber Manulai-tur- 

 ing Co., who was recently made president of the Trenton Cham- 

 ber of Commerce, has stirred up the Trenton merchants by de- 

 claring that outrageous profiteering is being carried to extremes. 

 He has called a meeting of the merchants to discuss the high 

 cost of living. He has also taken up the question of a shortage 

 of houses in Trenton, and says that he finds that the scarcity of 

 dwellings is not as great as reported. 



The Pocono Rubber Cloth Co., which recently purchased the 

 plant of the Howard Demountable Rim Co., Trenton, and 4,'4 

 acres of land, has awarded a contract for the erection of ex- 

 tensive additions. The contract calls for the erection of a power 

 house, 43 by 45 feet; an engine room, 25 by 70 feet, and a drying 

 and unloading building, 26 by 170 feet. The buildings will be 

 one story, of brick and concrete, and the entire work will cost 

 about $50,000. There will also be another structure to house two 

 large vulcanizing rooms. The work is to be completed in eight 

 weeks. 



The Acme Tire Co., of which W. Bradford Stryker is general 

 manager, is having a new building erected on East Front street, 

 Trenton. The company's present home will be razed to make 

 room for city improvements. 



The .Ajax Rubber Co., Inc., Trenton, recently gave an enter- 

 tainment at the Crescent Temple and had as guests its 1,200 em-
