New Rubber Goods in the Market. 



"ELITE" HAIR WAVER OR CURLER. 



THE illustration hcrevvitli relates to a small article recently 

 patented which gives indications of becoming very popu- 

 lar. Among the advantages which it possesses is that, 

 being in one piece, there are no parts to lose. There is more- 

 over no knob or button to catch in the hair. It is unbreakable,

with care will last for years, and does not cut, pull or break 

 the hair. This curler can be removed from the hair without 

 unwinding. Not a few of these advantages are due to the fact 

 that the "Elite" is made of good rubber. [Schacht & Co., Elk- 

 hart, Indiana.] 



RUBBER HEELS WITH FRICTION PLUG. 



It is claimed that rubber heels with so called friction plugs 

 inserted in the rubber at the rear make one's footing more se- 

 cure and lengthen the life 

 of the heel. Special ad- 

 vantages are claimed for 

 placinsf the friction plugs, 

 instead of at the cen- 

 ter of the heel, close 

 to the outer edge, where 

 the greatest wear occurs. 

 The manufacturers of the 

 Jieel here illustrated state 

 that particularly tough 

 and springy rubber is 

 used in its construction. 

 These heels are furnished 

 in all the usual sizes in 

 either black or gray rub- 

 ber. This friction plug 

 Tieel is sold through the leading jobbers of the trade, and made 

 by the extensive rubber manufacturing firm of Morgan & Wright, 

 of Detroit, Michigan. 



"BUCKEYE" SOAP TRAYS. 



The rubber soap tray the construction of which is illustrated 

 in the accompanying cut is made 3 X 4'-'2 inches in size, and 

 supplied in two colors — red and gray. It is very neat in ap- 

 pearance and referred to as be- 

 ing superior to metal or glass. It 

 is supplied to tlie trade by the 

 manufacturers, the Springfield 

 Tire and Rubber Co., Spring- 

 field, Ohio. "Buckeye" Soap Tray. 



THE DETACHABLE TWIN RUBBER HEEL. 



A RECENTLY patented rubber heel is attached to the leather 

 shoe by means of a steel plate which is applied to the leather 

 and held in position by screws. The rubber heel is recessed 

 to fit the steel plate, and is stretched on over it, con- 

 tracting when put on so as to remain firmly in place. No 

 nails are used to hold on this heel — thus avoiding the 

 danger of scratching floors — and the absence of nail holes 

 lessens the liability of the heel to take up and carry mud. The

heel may be transferred from one shoe to another, since not 

 even cement is used to hold the rubber in place. The Detach- 

 able Twin Heel is marketed by a new company, the Detachable 

 Twin Heel Co. (No. 28 School street, Boston), who have a fac- 

 tory at Lynn, but are reported to be planning to remove to 

 Saugus. Massachusetts. 



"RED CROSS" LUMBERMAN'S OVER. 



The "Red Cross" combination top lumberman's over, while 

 first introduced to the trade several years ago, has undergone 



various improvements from time 

 to time, making it continually a 

 more desirable article of foot- 

 wear. The top is made of extra

heavy waterproof goods and 

 lioarded leather, and the bot- 

 loms of lumberman's overs 

 made by a leading rubber com- 

 pany. These goods are made 

 with 8 inch. 11 inch, 14 inch, and 

 I" inch leather tops. [Hirth- 

 Krause Co., Grand Rapids, 

 Michigan.] 



THE AUTO WIND SHIELD. 



The cut here illustrates the 

 appearance and method of apply- 

 ing a new automobile wind 

 shield, designed to protect the 

 motorist while at the same time 

 giving him a full and un- 

 obstructed view of the road. This shield is mentioned as being 

 preferable to a shield of glass or other transparent material, 

 which is liable to become covered with mist or dust, or to give 

 a bad reflection of light. It accomplishes this protection, while 

 occupying a position below the line of vision of the driver, by

being so curved that the currents of air striking on the front 

 of the machine are deflected outward and upw'ard, carrying wind 

 or dust over the occupant's head and giving absolute protection 

 to the face and eyes as well as the hands and body. The Auto 

 Wind Shield is intended to do away with the necessity of goggles 

 or protection for the face ; makes possible smoking with com- 

 fort ; and avoids danger incident to the use of plate glass fronts.

The feature of particular interest in the accompanying illus- 

 tration is the central figure, designed to illustrate the interior
