THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[September 1, 1917. 



HENRY N. MABERY. 



HENRY NELSON MABERY, treasurer of The Savage Tire 

 Corp. of San Diego, California, was born in Winchendon, 

 Massachusetts, and cdncatcd in the Murdock Schools in that 



town, which is noted 

 for the extent of its 

 wood working in- 

 dustries. In his 

 youth he acquired a 

 practical knowledge 

 of every branch of 

 the wood working 

 machinery business, 

 first with Baxter D. 

 Whitney & Sons 

 Co., of Winchendon, 

 and later with the 

 S. A. Woods Ma- 

 chine Co., of Bos- 

 ton, Massachusetts, 

 and he had already 

 assumed a promi- 

 nent position in this 

 industry when the 

 state of his wife's 

 health prompted his 

 moving to a less 

 rigorous climate. 

 Twelve years ago 

 he took up his residence at Los Angeles, California, where for 

 ten years he engaged in the real estate business, and the beauti- 

 ful sub-division between Los Angeles and Hollywood, named 

 Mabery Heights, is a permanent testimonial to his development 

 work. 



In August, 1915, the Savage Tire Co., of San Diego, Cali- 

 fornia, secured the services of Mr. Mabery for some special 

 organization work, and the promptness and thoroughness with 

 which this work was performed led eventually to his being ap- 

 pointed to a prominent position in the Savage organization, and 

 he is now general superintendent of the Savage Tire Co., and 

 secretary and treasurer of The Savage Tire Corp. During the 

 period of Mr. Mabery's supervision the business of the com- 

 pany has grown so as to require very material enlargement, the 

 addition of many modern machines and the installation of the 

 latest manufacturing methods, and much of this is due to his 

 business insight, activity and enterprise.

PREFERRED STOCK FOR FEDERAL RUBBER EMPLOYES. 



As the result of requests from many of the employes of 

 the Federal Rubber Co., of Cudahy, Wisconsin, for the priv- 

 ilege of purchasing an interest in the company, action recently 

 was taken by the board of directors whereby a certain amount 

 of second preferred stock of the company might be acquired. 

 This stock, which is dividend-bearing, will, by reason of the 

 limited number of shares available, be offered primarily to 

 those employes holding positions of responsibility and whose 

 terms of service with the Federal company cover a consider- 

 able period of time. 



A BICYCLE TIRE WINDOW DISPLAY. 



The United States Rubber Co. has in its building, 1790 Broad- 

 way, New York City, some of the best show windows in the 

 city, both in the arrangement of the windows and the location 

 for exhibiting the class of goods it carries. Last month all 

 of its windows were fitted with tires of various kinds and 

 grades made by the company, and the arrangement of the win- 

 dows certainly proved that whoever had this in charge was a 



real artist. Reproduced here is the display in one of the win- 

 dows, which reminds one of the song, "The Old Oaken Bucket," 

 it being intended to advertise bicycle tires. There was an in- 

 genious blending of painted background with real flowers and 

 shrubbery. Two bicycles were shown, together with tires hav- 

 ing a variety of treads made by this company. Two children 

 were represented as resting from their pedaling and quenching 

 their thirst at the old well, and no doubt thousands stopped to 

 study this and incidentally realized that the company manufac- 

 tures quite a variety of bicycle tires. 



The strength of France, commercially and financially , is 

 briefly outlined in a booklet, "France and America, Their Mutual 

 Interests and Obligations," published by the Guaranty Trust 

 Co., of New York City, and which will be read with interest 

 by exporters.
