LEWIS -NOJAR' RUBBER RETAINED AUTO CLOCK 



IF an automobile clock is to prove a reliable timepiece and not 

 a mere ornament, it must be very securely encased to pre- 

 vent all danger of jarring or vibration. Rubber is the ideal 



casing, as it absorbs vibration, is non-conducting and there- 

 fore keeps the clock free from the 

 effects of any electrical disturb- 

 ance. The heavy red rubber cas- 

 ing fits firmly around the clock, 

 which is attached by drilling holes 

 in the dash at a distance matching 

 the stationary bolts attached to 

 the steel plate embedded in rubber. 

 A special style for Ford cars is 

 also made. Seneca G. Lewis, gen- 

 eral manager of the Pennsylvania 

 Rubber Co., is the inventor.

THE •AUDUBON" UMBRELLA HANGER. 



Umbrellas invariably rust out at the peak ; tht 

 falling down, or, if left with others in an um- 

 brella stand, they are injured by rubbing against 

 them, if not actually torn by the peak of an um- 

 brella carelessly placed in the stand. The ".Au- 

 dubon" umbrella hanger is a simple and conveni- 

 ent device, which provides a rubber holder in 

 which the peak of the umbrella is inserted, and a 

 ring in the top of the holder to hang upon the 

 closet hook, as shown in the accompanying illus- 

 tration. The umbrella hangs in an inverted posi- 

 tion, thus preventing the ends of the frame from 

 catching on clothing. The holder protects the 

 umbrella, as coats are protected by coat hangers 

 and shoes by shoe trees, and its life is, therefore, 

 greatly prolonged. [The Cantine Co., Inc., New

A CONVENIENT MUCILAGE APPLIER. 



The B & S mucilage applier is a very modern device, de- 

 signed to prevent the petty annoyance and waste of material 

 incidental to the use of mucilage pots or paste jars. It is 

 made of hard rubber, 

 <'(T( I . X ^l^^ ^ inches long, 1 inch 



^\\xa.\/i\ j4^^ wide and 3/^ of an inch 



thick. Slight projec- 

 tions on both sides, at 

 each end, keep it ofif 

 the paper if laid down 

 carelessly. The soft 

 rubber tongue at one 

 end bends back as it 

 is pressed against the surface to be gummed, uncovering an 

 opening in the hard rubber underneath and allowing the 

 mucilage to flow\ It has a pneumatic feed, a slight pressure 

 on the sides accelerating the flow when desired. As the 

 tongue is lifted from the paper it springs back into place, 

 stopping the flow and sealing the opening like a cork. To 

 refill, it is only necessary to unscrew the cap at the other 

 end and screw on a collapsible tube of mucilage, reversing 

 the operation after squeezing the mucilage out. If it is de- 

 sired to carry the applier in the pocket, a hard rubber cap 

 is supplied. [Sengbusch Self-Closing Inkstand Co., Milwau-

 They are no longer clumsy or inelegant, 

 yet they excellently serve the purpose 

 for which they are intended. The 

 black Para rubber-coated garment in 

 the first illustration has elastic cuffs at 

 [he sleeves and a drawstring at the 

 neck, afifording the absolutely close 

 protection needed against driving rain 

 and that aggravating kind of snow 

 which sifts gently in at the smallest 

 opening. The coat fastens with clasps, 

 folding over, double-breasted fashion. 

 The length is 52 inches, and it is sup- 

 plied in three sizes and three weights, 

 for both men and women, and is folded 

 in a compact rubber bag. Its eminent 

 suitability as a fishing coat also will be 

 readily seen.

 pose. This apron is supplied in light,

 inches in length, the width being aboiK

SOAKING AND POULTICING BOOTS FOR HORSES, 



.\ great majority of equine ills are due to foot and tendon 

 troubles, and it is no easy matter to attend to these ailments 

 properly. ."V thoroughly practical aid in their treatment, here il- 

 lustrated, is a bag, or boot, as it is called, 

 which can be used in fomenting the foot 

 or leg of a horse with hot or co'd v.-.t:r 

 or any medicinal preparation: alfo for an 

 ice pack. It is impos- 

 sible for the animal to ^ 

 get out of the boot once ^ ' ■ 

 it is attached, yet he is 



ut annoyance and requires little 



able to move about the stal 

 attention. 



In the three larger sizes there is a valve, placed near the bot- 

 tom, through which the water is released before removing the 

 boot. A narrow strap gathers the soft top of the boot tight to 

 the leg. preventing the radiation of heat when hot water is used ; 

 but if it should become too cold, some of the water may be al-
