The Kaiist troiiser supporter, made from 26 to 44 inches long 

 and from 4 to 8 inclics wide, fastens with flat buttons and re- 

 inforced buttonholes, while rub- 

 ber "finger" pads hold the

interest the many who rely upon pencils and fountain pens. Its 

 points of superiority are as follows: (1) three or four carbon 

 copies may be made at once; (2) lines may be drawn with a 

 ruler without blotting and blurring; (3) the smooth, hard, round 

 gold point will not break or bend; (4) it can be carried in any 

 position without danger of leakage; (5) it is ready for instant 

 use the moment the cap is taken off. 



The "Inkograph" is made in many different styles, for a wide 

 range of prices. The latest model has a rubber plug inside the 

 cap which prevents leaking while upside down. (Inkograph Co., 

 Inc., 670 Sixth avenue. New York City.) 



CARPET WASHER WITH RUBBER BRUSHES. 



.\ new washer for rugs and carpets is shown in the ac- 

 companying illustration, which makes it no longer neces- 

 sary to remove them from the floor in order to have them 

 perfectly clean and 

 sanitary. The "Ham- 

 ilton Beach" carpet 

 washer is a combina- 

 tion of washing ma- 

 chine and vacuum 

 cleaner, equipped 

 with two rubber 

 brushes that oscillate 

 .W times a minute, 

 duplicating the action 

 of the human hand 

 perfectly, it is claimed, 

 only in a more thor- 

 ough manner. No 

 water touches the rug 

 or carpet, however. 

 Only the warm, sud- 

 sy cleaning compound 

 is scrubbed down to 

 the bottom of the nap 

 in so thorough a 

 manner that every 

 thread is cleaned.

by the powerful suc- 

 tion, simultaneously with all moisture. The soap compound in- 

 tended to be used with this carpet washer is said to contain no 

 harmful chemicals or animal fats, being based on a vegetable 

 oil that leaves the carpet swcct-smelling and sanitary. (Hamil- 

 ton Beach Carpet Washer Co., 114 Liberty street, New York.) 



SCHRADCR 



REPAIR TOOL FOR DIVERSE USES. 



The Schrader "Universal Five-in-One" valve repair tool, it is 

 claimed, performs three repair and two utility operations 

 namely: (1) repairs the inside 

 thread on valve and (2) the out- 

 side thread on valve stem fnr 

 valve cap; (3) smooths do« 

 valve-cap washer seat on vaK- 

 (4) removes or inserts vah > 

 inside; (5) deflates tube by hold 

 iiig down valve inside, by scrc\s 

 ing dcrtater into mouth of valve. 

 These valve-repair tools are 

 put up ten to a counter display board, with easel back for con- 

 venience in displaying. (A. Schrader's Son, Inc., 783 Atlantic 

 avenue, Brooklyn, New- York.) 



THE "ALLWEATHER" AUTOMOBILE TOP. 



.\ handsome custom built automobile top for 

 individual cars is called the "-Mlwcather." The 

 frame is of hard wood, reinforced with sheet steel, 

 padded with felt. The side panels are 

 of clear glass set solidly into hard-wood 

 frames covered with material to match 

 the waterproof topping. The glass is 

 held in place by a leak-proof rubber 

 compound. The side panels may be re- 

 moved, frame and all, for summer driv- 

 ing. Curtains wdth celluloid windows 

 are provided as a substitute, and these 

 may be folded and carried under the 

 seat of the automobile. The curtains 

 also match the top material. (The All- 

 weather Top & Body Co., Inc., 6545 

 Carnegie avenue. Cleveland, Ohio. ) 



PRACTICAL AUTOMOBILE ACCESSORIES. 



.\n excellent wedge-shaped back cushion, for use by women 

 automobile drivers or persons of small stature, is made of 

 heavy 32-ounce rubberized fabric with a black enamel finish. 

 It is stuffed with a high-grade sea moss which does not pack 

 hard or get lumpy, because tufts are sewed in nine places with 

 black upholstering buttons, to help preserve the shape. The 

 maker claims that the "Easy-Rest" cushion shown in the illus- 

 tration above retains its resiliency indefinitely. 



The same manufacturer is putting out the "Wear-Ever" 

 leather reliners for tires, prepared on regular tire forms, shaped 

 to fit the inside curve of the casing Thev are coated on one
