THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



27 



The Canadian Consolidated Rubber Co., Limited, Montreal, 



Canada, devotes its September issue of "Foot Prints" to a catalog 



of sport shoes. This is a larger catalog than those previously 



mefitioned and contains a very comprehensive list of the various 



lines made by this company. The illustrations are well drawn 



and engraved, and show some novelties, among them the new 



"Aviator" shoe shown and described elsewhere in this issue. 



Another novelty is a lawn bowling shoe similar in design to a 



line made in England which was illustrated in the September 



number of The Imiiia Rubber World. This catalog includes 



a number of lines of bathing shoes, bathroom and boudoir 



slippers, etc.

The Miner Rubber Co., Limited, Montreal, Canada, also uses 

 its monthly house organ as an outing shoe catalog, which is quite 

 elaborate in its arrangement, each page embellished with a well 

 drawn illustration in colors, appropriate to the line of shoes men- 

 tioned on the same page, the "Greyhound" trade-mark being 

 printed in outline at the top and the brand, "Miner's Grey- 

 hounds," at the bottom. The various lines are shown in color 

 and particular attention is called to the pneumatic heel styles, 

 and the lines made by the pressure cure process. Amon.g tlie 

 new ideas shown are the "Educator" line for children, the 

 "Tramper" balmoral with high foxing and wing tij). and the 

 "Beach" balmoral of white canvas with a tan rubber sole and 

 heel but with white rubber foxing.
