235 



The B. F. Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio, has sent out its whole- 

 sale price list of "Hipress" rubber footwear, a neatly printed 

 booklet showing in appropriate colors the company's brown and 

 white rubber specialties with the red line round the top. Felt 

 boots and socks are also included in the price list. 



The Apsley Rubber Co., Hudson, Massachusetts, has sent out 

 a small booklet, dated January 1, giving net prices of its Granger 

 line of red and white boots and lumbermens, made by special

"Echoes from the Convention," is a little 12-page booklet con- 

 tain'ng the address given by Colonel Samuel P. Colt, president of 

 the United States Rubber Co., to the footwear salesmen of that 

 company at a convention held in Boston late in December. In 

 his address Colonel Colt stated that the business of the world 

 is to be carried on by great corporations which, because of the 

 magnitude of business, can employ men of the highest order. 

 There are many concerns, managed on most magnificent prin- 

 ciples, that are building up our country and have enabled us to 

 compete with the world in the manufacture of rubber goods. 



CALENDARS AND SOUVENIRS. 



IN addition to the calendars and souvenirs that were noted in 

 ^ the January issue of The India Rubber World as having 

 been distributed to the rubber trade at the holiday season, atten- 

 tion may be called to the following : 



.An attractive 9 x 13 inches, delicately colored sepia print, 

 depicting an old music master at the piano with his pupil, a 

 quaintly costumed little girl, is mounted on a large white back- 

 ground which bears a calendar pad and, in modest lettering,. the 

 name of the Adamson Machine Co., manufacturer of rubber 

 working machinery, Akron, Ohio. 



A calendar in which each month is featured and the previous 

 and coming month are shown less prominently, thus affording a 

 convenient business reference, was distributed by George F. Luf- 

 bery, Jr.., manufacturer of chemicals, Elizabeth, New Jersey. 



With a separate leaf for each day of the year and with a date 

 printed in 3-inch prominent figures, the pad being securely 

 attached to a dark blue card which may be hung on the wall, the 

 calendar of the Stamford Rubber Supply Co., manufacturer of 

 rubber substitutes, Stamford, Connecticut, forms a useful adjunct 

 to a business office.

 facturing Co. and the Acme Belting Co., Chicago, Illinois, has 

 distributed a pleasing art calendar with a sepia print of "The 

 Lass That Loves a Sailor."

 Muskegon, Michigan, has sent its friends an attractive art

.•\mong the most useful calendars of the season is the desk

 the Electric Hose & Rubber Co., manufacturer of rubber hose, 

 Wilmington, Delaware.

 machines, and strainers, Paterson, New Jersey.

 and dealer in chemicals, Trenton, New Jersey. 



A large wall calendar illustrating the modern Rip Van Winkle 

 has been sent to the trade by the R. J. Caldwell Co., Inc., dealer 

 in tire fabrics, New York City.

 Massachusetts.
