JAPANESE RUBBER TOYS IN CANADA. 



A report from the consul at Kingston, Onlario, comments on 

 the replacing of German-made toys, including those of rubber, by 

 those of other countries, with special reference to the development 

 of the Japanese toy industry. In this connection he cites an article 



which recently appeared in a Japanese magazine, from which it 

 would appear that the Japanese product is largely supplanting 

 the German. However, after careful investigation in his district, 

 he finds that the American article, whether mechanical, metal or 

 rubber, is preferred to any from Europe or Asia and that the 

 annual trade is on the increase. 



A MILL VILLAGE FOR THE HANES RUBBER CO. 



The Hanes Rubber Co., Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is 

 developing a 13S-acre tract adjoining its factory as a modern 

 mill village of the most approved type. 



Cottages for Hanes Rubber Co. Employes. 



A tract of some 135 acres of attractive topography that will 

 afford opportunity for expansion of both plant and village has 

 been selected and a firm of well-known village planners are in 

 charge of the work, thus assuring good architecture and pleas- 

 ing landscape features. 



The plans include several miles of graded, grass-bordered 

 streets with concrete sidewalks. All traffic arteries lead to two 

 important centers — the plant, and the community center, where 

 will be located a building for entertainments, motion-pictures, a 

 gymnasium, a swimming pool, also modern stores of various sorts. 



A twelve-acre tract is reserved for expansion of the plant. Seven 

 storage warehouses will be erected for raw materials, and two 

 textile mills are projected nearby, to supply fabric needs, the first 

 of these to be of 10,000-spindle equipment for the production of 

 tire-building fabrics. 



NEW TIRE INDUSTRY FOR BUFFALO. 



The Madison Tire & Rubber Co., Inc., has erected in Buffalo, 

 New York, a modern plant equipped with the most approved 

 machinery for the manufacture of highest quality automobile cord 

 and fabric tires and inner tubes. A large chemical laboratory, 

 fully equipped with facilities for chemical control of raw materi- 

 als, manufacturing process, and physical testing of the products, 

 has been installed. In fact, provision has been made to render 

 effective the determination of the management to place on the 

 market only strictly high-class goods and to maintain them at a 

 uniformly high standard of quality. 



It is expected that the plant will begin operation early in July, 

 on a daily production of 250 tires and tubes. The output will be 

 steadily increased to full capacity of the equipment, approximately 

 1,000 tires and 1,000 tubes daily. 



William Meyers, formerly with the Racine Auto Tire Co., is 

 superintendent, and will be ably assisted by equally competent 

 experts. 



The main office and eastern sales department, 57th street and 

 Broadway, New York City, will be in charge of Jean Nehmcl- 

 mann, eastern sales manager, formerly with the Mohawk Rub- 

 ber Co. 



The control of the company is held by men connected with the 

 United States Rubber Reclaiming Co., Inc., and with the banking 

 firm of Ladenburg, Thalmann Co., New York.
