[February 1, 1917. 



pamphlet describing in considerable detail the Royle six-inch 

 straining machine with the three-way delivery head, displayed

From the International Rubber Co., Denver, Colorado, we 

 have received the first issue of "More Mileage," the firm's new 

 monthly trade paper- in the interests of International Rubber 

 Half-Sole tires. Its bright reading matter and many illustra- 

 tions reflect a "get-together" spirit among department heads 

 and representatives that invariably makes for success.

From the B. F. Sturtevant Co., Hyde Park, Massachusetts, 

 comes Binder B, substantially gotten up in red cloth with large 

 titles in gold, in which to file 21 of the company's publicitions 

 as issued, 7 of them already being in place. Firms having a 

 large and varied product do well to standardize their publica- 

 tions in this manner for the convenience of their customers. 



Those equipping rubber factory additions will find interest 

 in the catalogs now available of Sturtevant air washers, Bulletin 

 226; Multivane volume fans. Bulletin 228; heaters, catalog 

 230; Autoforce ventilators, Bulletin 232; pneumatic collecting and 

 conveying systems. Catalog 235, and electric fans. Catalog 240.

The Scientific Materials Co., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has 

 sent out "The Chemical Blue Book," a very valuable catalog 

 and price-list of chemicals, acids and alkaloids, reagents, etc., 

 which is likely to be of value to every analytical chemist and 

 rubber manufacturer. This book gives a most complete list of 

 chemical products handled by the company, containing as it does 

 4,000 diflferent items with their synonyms, chemical formula and 

 processes. A list of international atomic weights is given, and 

 added to this is a list of Kahlbaum's reagents, both English and 

 German names being given. This company claims to have the 

 largest stock of these reagents in the United States, and this is 

 especially notable inasmuch as no more can be secured until 

 after the close of the present European war.

Those of our readers who have not yet studied the Federal 

 Reserve Act, or who do not fully understand the advantages and 

 the workings of trade acceptances, will find a very informing and 

 interesting explanation in the pamphlet "Trade Acceptances from 

 a Mercantile Viewpoint," by Kenneth R. Hooker, vice-president 

 and treasurer of the Putnam-Hooker Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. The 

 pamphlet can be read in a short time, and gives a thorough ex- 

 planation of the merits of this plan of merchandising and col- 

 lections, applicable to all lines of business. 



MORE CALENDARS AND SOUVENIRS. 



IN addition to the calendars and souvenirs of which mention 

 * was made in the January issue of The India Rubber World 

 as having been distributed to the rubber trade during the holiday 

 season, it is a pleasure to acknowledge receipt of the following 

 early in January: 



SOUVENIRS. 

 Somerset Rubber Reclaiming Works, reclaimed rubber, Som- 

 erset, New Jersey. The most ingenious of the year's offerings, 

 ihis consists of a white metal clip to hold a filler pad of 

 perforated, detachable memorandum sheets 354x4j/j inches, each 

 bearing the legend : "What I Am to Do Today." To the thumb- 

 piece of the spring clip is hinged a container for 12 monthly 

 calendar cards beneath a celluloid-covered opening. Thus the 

 calendar may be folded flat for mailing.

The Boston Woven Hose & Rubber Co., mechanicals, belting, 

 packing, carriage cloth and hose, Cambridge, Massachusetts, dis- 

 tributed one of the handsomest souvenirs of the year. It con- 

 sists of a 36-page octavo volume entitled "The Story of Rubber," 



and is artistically bound in green boards, printed on dull-finish 

 coaled paper, with many half-tone illustrations and several 

 handsome inserts in full color, both on the cover and within the 

 book. After describing what rubber is, how it is obtained, and 

 reviewing the rubber industry and the growth of the Boston 

 Woven Hose & Rubber Co., a journey through its great Cam- 

 bridge plant is interestingly narrated. By word and picture a 

 very good general idea is given the layman of the methods of 

 manufacturing rubber hose, heels and soles, mats and matting, 

 belting, fruit-jar rings and tape, together with a glimpse into 

 the brass foundry where hose couplings and nozzles of all size* 

 and descriptions are made. 



CALENDARS. 



The Adamson Machine Co., rubber working machinery, Akron, 

 Ohio. This displayed a beautiful hand-tinted photographic 

 print, the subject being an attractive waterscape. 



Boston Belting Co., belting, packing, hose and mechanicals, 

 Boston, Massachusetts. An art calendar in tones of brown, de- 

 picting the Forsyth Dental Infirmary for children, donated to 

 the city of Boston by Thomas A. F'orsyth, president of the 

 company. 



David Bridge & Co., Limited, engineers and rubber machinistSr 

 Castleton, Manchester, England. Six sheets illustrating songs 

 of long ago, each sheet having a humorous picture well printed 

 in three colors on pebbled cream tinted paper. "We'd Better 

 Bide a Wee," "The Wearing of the Green" and "The Gipsy** 

 Warning" make particular appeal to the rubber trade. 



Electric Hose & Rubber Co., hose, Wilmington, Delaware. 

 Purely utilitarian in the form of a desk pad for memoranda. 



The Rubber Regenerating Co., Limited, reclaimers, Traflford 

 Park, Manchester, England. Its features were a daily tear-ofi' 

 pad and a reproduction in color of "The Passing Train," by 

 Lucy Kemp-Welch, a painting of a plowing scene, with four 

 splendid horses. 



The Stamford Rubber Supply Co., rubber substitutes, Stam- 

 ford, Connecticut. A large daily date calendar. 



H. F. Taintor Manufacturing Co., whiting, Paris white, chalk, 

 china clay, etc.. New York City. 



Tyson Brothers, rubber substitutes and chemicals, Carteret, 

 New Jersey. This was the largest and handsomest calendar 

 of the year, the illustration being a superb four-color reproduc- 

 tion of Moran's painting of the "Falls at Toltec Gorge in the 

 Rockies," measuring 16x22% inches. 



Westinghouse Electric & Supply Co., electric motors and con- 

 trol devices, East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A large calendar 

 for practical office use. 



CARDS.

 ries, packing, cements, sporting goods, heels and soles, Trenton, 

 New Jersey.

The Packard Electric Co., insulated wire, Warren, Ohio. 



TKADE-MARK DECISION. 



The examiner of trade-marks refused registration as a trade- 

 mark the words "Para Oke— A. & A. R. Co. 100% Line," ar- 

 ranged in a circle, for shoe soles and heels, because of prior 

 registration of the trade-mark of the American Rubber Co., 

 which shows the word "Para" and "Boston" below a line on 

 which appears the words "Rubber Shoe Co." for rubber boot* 

 and shoes. The court of appeals has decided that in view of 

 the facts that, first, "Para" is descriptive of rubber, and probably 

 of itself is not registrable ; second, that the goods of the applicant 

 and registrant are materially different; and, third, that applicant** 

 mark involves its initials, together with the words "Para Oke," 

 which apparently are not descriptive of the applicant's good*, 

 applicant's mark may be passed to issue if no opposition develop*.
