A NEW RUBBER BOOT FOR SEVERE SERVICE. 



What miners particularly want in rubl)er iwots is the maximum 

 of wear, comfort of course being assumed. A new rubber boot 

 has recently come on the market in- 

 tended especially for workers in iron 

 mines and men employed in garages 

 other places where the floors are of 

 ment and not particularly smooth ; 'in 

 her words, where the wear on the sole 

 a rubber boot is unusually hard, 

 new boot is quite similar to the 

 rubber boots with leather soles which 

 have been so popular for many years, 

 with one exception— that in place of the 

 leather sole there is a specially tough 

 cemented sole which the makers say, 

 judging from various tests made, will 

 considerably outwear the leather sole. 

 This new sole is called the "Nauga," 

 which suggests that probably it is made 

 in a Xaugatuck factory. If so. that is 

 distinctly in its favor, as Naugatuek has 

 been famous for superior rubber foot- 

 wear for the last 65 years. 



The "Nauga," by the way, is an ex- 

 ■nsion sole, which saves the foot of the 

 boot from any hard 

 knocks. In color it is a 

 chrome yellow. (United 

 States Rubber Co., New

A NEW GOODRICH GASOLENE HOSE. 



The great trouble encountered in piping gasolene has been 

 that the fluid dissolves rubber, causing disintegration and 

 thereby allowing small particles of rubber to get into carbureters 

 and cause engine trouble. 



With the end in view of rectifying this trouble, a new gaso- 

 lene hose has 

 been put on the 

 market. The 

 inside rubber 

 tube is pro- 

 tected from the 

 gasolene by a 

 very fine fab- 

 r i c , specially 

 treated, which 

 is held ill place 

 by a steel wire. 

 The result is 

 that no matter 

 h o w m u c ii 

 disintegrati nri 

 takes place, no 



particles of rubber, however small, can get into the gasolene. 

 The wire is a flat steel spiral which covers approximately two- 

 fifths of the surface of the fabric, and prevents kinking of the 

 hose. 



The hose comes in two styles, the "Commander" and the
