"GIBRALTAR" CLOTH INSERTION WATER BOTTLE. 



ONE characteristic of this new cloth insertion water bottle, 

 as will be seen from the illustration, is its shape, which 

 is patterned after the all rubber styles rather than the 

 flat edge cloth insertion 

 bottles which for years 

 have been on the market. 

 This not only gives the 

 "Gibraltar" a distinctive 

 shape, but it insures full 

 capacity, a very import- 

 ant feature. Another no- 

 table characteristic of 

 this construction is the 

 seam employed. It is 

 made on the theory that 

 cloth insertion fabric on 

 cloth insertion does not 

 make a sure connection. 

 In the "Gibraltar" an all 

 rubber contact has been 

 arranged for the two 

 sides of the bottle, this 

 being reinforced by an all 

 rubber strip over the 

 seam, then a cloth inser- 

 tion strip over the all 

 rubber, and finally the 

 outside all rubber binding 

 over 't. A special cement 

 's used which makes it 

 difficult to pull or even 

 pry off the binding. The 

 result is a triple rein- 

 forced steam, rendering it 

 next to impossible for the bottle to leak at this point, generally 

 recognized as the weakest part of a cloth insertion article. The 

 stocks used in preparing the fabric are of the shades of color 

 which have been found to be most popular. [The B. F. Good- 

 rich Co., Akron, Ohio.] 



"PELVIC" EXTENSION HOT WATER BOTTLE. 



Every physician finds frequent occasion to require a hot water 

 bottle of special shape, and not a few makes are now on the 



market in which the con- 

 ventional form of water 

 bottle is departed from. 

 The most recent addition 

 to the list is illustrated 

 here. Its peculiar form 

 allows it to be bound di- 

 rectly to parts not 

 reached conveniently by 

 other appliances, though 

 it may be worn on any 

 portion of the body. 

 The device is placed on 

 the abdomen and the 

 upper ends united be- 

 hind, attached to the loop 

 "Pelvic" Extension Hot Water on the extension. The 

 Bottle. same principle of con- 



struction is applied to ice bags. [Bailey Specialty Co., No. 34

MORGAN & WRIGHT MOTORCYCLE TIRE. 



The increasing use of motorcycles in the United States has led 

 the various tire manufacturing firms to give attention to the 

 special needs of these machines in the matter of rubber equip- 

 ment, thus following the example of the trade in Europe, where 

 the use of motorcycles developed at an earlier date. Morgan & 



Morgan & Wright Motorcycle Tire. 



Wright (Detroit. Michigan) have added to their extensive line of 

 products a corrugated motorcycle tire of the detachable, double 

 clinch type. The casing is formed in shape to fit the rim, instead 

 of being made fiat, as usually is done; the inner tube also is dis- 

 tinctive, in that it is made of several plies of rubber instead of a 

 single ply. 



THE "FAULTLESS" RUBBER RETURN BALLOON. 



The rubber bubble illustrated not long ago in The Indla Rub- 

 ber World, was a mighty fascinating toy. In the Rubber Return 

 Balloon, however, the inventor gets up something that is even 

 more fascinating. The rubber bubble after being blown up by the 

 inflating pipe and thrown off always drifted dow-n toward the 



"Faultless" Rubber Return Balloon. 



floor. The return balloon, however, with its little kite tail is held 

 in such position that it rises anywhere from 10 to 50 feet in 

 the air, and when it is deflated comes back to earth. It is an ideal 

 toy and one that is bound to be universally popular. [The 

 Faultless Rubber Co., Ashland, Ohio.]
