'■Tiger I.ilv." "CoLLF.nE Cap." "Daisy." 



"College" cap is patterned after the familiar "mortar board," 

 with long streamers, and wooden buttons suspended from the 

 corners. The "Daisy" comes in the same colors as the "Tiger 

 Lily" and has each petal apparently fastened down with a rub- 

 ber button, while a black Celluloid buckle forms the center. (The 

 Miller Rublier Company, Akron, Ohio.) 



HAIR BRUSH WITH RUBBER CUSHION. 



The dainty woman likes a hair brush that can be thoroughly 

 cleaned from time 

 to time, and the 

 one illustrated here 

 accomplishes this 

 by means of a re- 

 movable rubber 

 cushion to which 

 the high - grade, 

 stiff black bristles 

 are vulcanized.

"ADHESO" MILLINERY GLUE. 



A strong millinery glue or rubber cement which is waterproof, 

 colorless, durable, and will not burn or explode, is called 

 "Adheso." It has been tested by the National Board of Fire 

 Underwriters and favorably reported on. This glue is used in 

 various ways in applying trimming to hats, as well as for the 

 insertion of hat linings without sewing. (James B. Day & Co.. 

 214 West Ohio street, Chicago, Illinois.)

A NEW FABRIC-RUBBER SOLE. 



A new fabric-rubber sole is called the "Gro-Cord." In principle 

 its construction follows that of the wood paving block whicli 

 presents its cross-grain side to traffic. This sole is composed 

 of rows of cord fabric set on end in sequence and vulcanized 

 into the pliable rubber body so that the ends of the cords present 

 themselves on the walking surface. It is 

 claimed that the "Gro-Cord" sole will not 

 cause the sensation of burning sometimes ex- 

 perienced when rubber soles are worn, and 

 that it is water-proof, noiseless, flexible, and 

 non-slipping. The base of this sole is thin, 

 strong fabric, vulcanized to the sole proper. 

 This prevents bulging or stretching. The sole 

 is left the full thickness at the shank and has 

 two plys of strong fabric on the bottom running 

 forward under the tread to strengthen the 

 shank and keep the sole from breaking. Be- 

 cause of its construction, the "Gro-Cord" sole 

 may be attached to shoes by stitching. 



This sole was formerly made by the Fire- 

 stone Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, under 

 agreement with the inventor, J. E. Grosjean, 

 and was known as the Firestone fabric-sole. 

 When the Firestone company decided to dis- 

 continue the retail end of its boot and shoe business, the in- 

 ventor purchased the equipment for the manufacture of this sole 

 and formed the present company to produce it. (The Lima 

 Cord Sole and Heel Company, Lima, Ohio.) 



RUBBER-INSULATED COIL-BOX PROTECTOR. 



\ coil-box protector which keeps out rain and snow and makes 

 short circuits impossible, it is claimed, is shown here. Rubber 

 bushings are inserted in the 



holes in the plate which 

 forms the protector, and 

 through these bushings pass 

 the electrical connections. 

 (Charles F. Lyngaas, 135 

 Wooster street, New York 

 City.) 



THE "CELOGLAS" SAFETY GOGGLE. 



.\mong the numerous safety goggles now to be had, the one 

 illustrated here claims a peculiar lens construction consisting of 

 a thin sheet of celluloid cemented between two sheets of glass 

 so as to prevent the glass from flying or falling out of the frame 

 when cracked or broken. These goggles are equipped with side 

 sliields of perforated nickeled metal and are held in place by 



elastic webbing which buckles around the head of the wearer
