"TTTILITY ADAPTO" TRAVELING CASE. 



The traveling case of waterproofed double texture fabric here 

 illustrated is made to suit individual fittings, thus eliminating the 

 necessity for ready-fitted 

 cases, which are gener- 

 ally very expensive and 

 do not always suit the 

 customer's ideas or re- 

 quirements in every par- 

 ticular. All articles are 

 held securely in place by 

 adjustable, self-holding 

 straps. The slots in the slip strap are less than an inch apart, 

 one or as many as necessary being used to 

 accommodate the various pieces. Large 

 pockets hold the wash cloth, towel, night- 

 dress, etc. When closed, the case lies per- 

 fectly flat, as shown in the second illustra- 

 tion, and can easily be tucked away in a suit- 

 case, trunk or automobile. These traveling 

 cases are furnished in leather, cretonne, Hnen, 

 silk and other novelty fabrics with a founda- 

 tion of waterproofed double-lined material. [The Stern Specialty 

 Co., Xew York City.] 



THE "BADIO" DATER. 



This is a new dating stamp of the dial variety. Its indicator 

 dial is arranged, as will be noted, around a nickeled rim on a 

 vertical cylinder revolved by turning the liandle of the dater. 



A noviel feature of this 

 stamp is the molding of the 

 printing die containing the 

 day dates in one piece with 

 the cushion ; others are the 

 molding of the cushion piece 

 in two close-fitting parts, and 

 the insertion of brass linings 

 in the mortises carrying the 

 date blocks. The stamp rep- 

 resents the latest improve- 

 ment — especially as regards 



its rubber features — in dial ■^^8»4'wo#iWK^!S^V

STANDARD ENVELOPE SEALER. 



An ingenious use of rubber is shown in the Standard En- 

 velope Sealer where a canvas belt, with pointed rubber projections, 



is used to convey and prnp 

 stripping fingers combine to 

 more than one envelope at 

 machine.

The envelopes are placed in the feed hopper. The endless belt 

 pulls the under envelope out. carrying it along to the moistening 

 tank ; a blade opens the flap and passes it over a moist felt, then 

 it is delivered under a sealing plate and into the receiving hopper. 

 The machine is mounted on six rubber feet and has a rubber plug 

 for the tank. [Orrin S. Lyon Co., Metropolitan building. New 

 York City). 



BALLOON NOVELTIES. 



The new design in balloons, shown herewith, is appropriately 

 named "Old Glory," having an American flag printed upon it in 

 the red, white and blue of the stars 

 and stripes. 



A life-like representation of a wa- 

 termelon, also shown, is a unique 

 novelty now ofTered in balloons. It 

 is large size, of an attractive green 

 color and is furnished in plain green 

 or decorated with a two-color design, 

 simulating a piece of watermelon, 

 along one side. This attractive toy 

 is made to please the youngsters' 

 desire for noise, a squawker being 

 used as an inflater, giving forth a 

 al sound in the deflation. A silent style, 

 among adiihs, has a special closing 



likely to be more popul. 



lich holds the melon in shape until deflation is desired.

WORKMEN'S PROTECTIVE GLOVES. 



.Analyses of industrial accidents show that the hands and fingers 

 are more frequently injured than any other members, and this is 



f probably as true of rubber mills as of any other 

 line of manufacturing plants. Handling the molds 

 and machinery is always more or less dangerous 

 and the use of knives and hand tools requires 

 protection to prevent blisters. A strong and serv- 

 iceable pliable glove for rubber workers who need 

 forefinger and thumb protection is shown here. 

 This leaves parts of the hand free while affording 

 such protection where it is needed. It is made of 

 a heavy textile material reinforced with leather 

 patches. 

 .Another glove, used mostly in foundry and 

 shop work but also useful in handling hot molds, 

 shows a leather patch on the thumb sewed in 

 with steel ribbons so that it cannot pull out, 

 while additional strips of tough leather sewed 

 in with steel thread reinforce the palm and 

 fingers and insure the worker protection against 

 heat and abrasions. [W. H. Salisbury & Co., 

 Inc., Chicago, Illinois.]
