THE "GOOD LUCK" JAR-RINGS. 



In the successful preserving of fruits and vegetables, the jar- 

 ring plays a most important part. On its ability to make and 

 maintain a perfectly air-tight seal depends the success. 



A brand of red rubber jar-rings 

 which has a very widely extended 

 sale, has filled every requirement 

 and stood every test established 

 The rings fit the standard types ut 

 fruit-jars, are made of a hi>;li 

 grade compound, and are packii 

 by the dozen in attractive cartons 

 which are sealed air-tight before 

 leaving the factory. The cut 

 shows the package in which this 

 particular brand of jar-rings is sold. (The Boston Woven Hose 

 & Rubber Co., Cambridge, Mass.) 



A SHAVING OUTFIT "ALL-IN-ONE." 



Many men who shave themselves will appreciate the shaving 

 convenience illustrated below. A metal case contains, in one 

 piece, a shaving brush, shaving cream, and talcum powder. The 

 brush itself is of good quality of bristles vulcanized in rubber, 

 having a ferrule which screws on the handle. In this ferrule is 

 a tube which connects with the compartment next to the brush, 

 containing soap or shaving cream, and permits the cream to 

 pass through into the bristles. When the brush is removed, the

cream compartment can be filled easily. The other half of the 

 handle is a container for talcum powder, arranged on the tele- 

 scope principle in such a way that it acts as the piston for forcing 

 the shaving cream through the tube into the brush. On the end 

 of the powder compartment is a perforated screw-cap so shaped 

 that the whole device may be stood upright on this cap when 

 desired. The metal parts of the "All-in-One" shaving brush, as 

 this novelty is called, are made of aluminum and holds sufficient 

 material for thirty-five shaves. (.\ll-in-One Brush Co., Bloom- 

 ington, Illinois.) 



AN EASILY ATTACHED RUBBER HEEL. 



A new type of rubber heel has recently been put on the market 

 which permits easy and speedy attachment. It is manufactured 

 by modern methods 

 necessary for the pro- 

 duction of high-grade 

 rubber heels. 



The "Beaded Tip" 

 rubber heel is concave- 

 convex in shape, with a 

 suction back and centralj 

 naiUng space which facil- 

 tates attachment to boots 

 or shoes. Besides, there 

 is a liberal allowance 

 for trimming .to that the 

 heel may be fitted to a 

 leather one of any shape. 

 Distribution is through 

 recognized jobbers.

A NEW CIGARETTE CASE. 



A high-grade pocket-case 

 lor holding cigarettes has 

 appeared, which has a rubber 

 lining to protect the contents 

 from moisture. This case, 

 shown in the accompanying 

 illustration, provides space for 

 thirty cigarettes, in two separate pockets which fold 

 together and are held in place in convenient pocket 

 size by a flap which snaps down with two fasteners. 

 The case itself is made of grosgrain moire silk, in 

 olive-drab. (Crown Suspender Co., 836 Broadway,

A BOON FOR THE BOW-LEGGED MAN. Garter. 



Somebody has recognized the predicament of the bow-legged 

 man who, through no fault of his own, so often makes a ridicu- 

 lous appearance when he most desires to look dignified and nor- 

 mal. A band of elastic which goes around the leg just above the 

 knee forms the foundation for the device. From this extend 

 downward two pieces of non-elastic tape, one attaching to the 

 sock. The other is connected with the sock-supporting one by 

 four strips of silver-finished tool steel, slightly weighted. When 

 the wearer stands, the steel strips are in a horizontal position, 

 holding out the second tape and preventing the trousers from 

 following the curve of a bowed leg. When the wearer is run- 

 ning, sitting down, etc., the steel strips swing back into perpendic- 

 ular position against the inner fabric strip. This prevents any 

 bulging of the trousers. (S-L Garter Co., Dayton, Ohio.) 



A BATHING BAG. 



A rubberized bath- 

 ing bag known as 

 the "Jiffy-Lock," is 

 one of the newest 

 bathing accessories. 

 The bag or case it- 

 self is made of 

 double - texture rub- 

 b e r i z e d fabric of 

 heavy quality, in 

 four sizes. The fea- 

 ture of the case is its 

 fastening. This is a 

 device on which a 

 patent has been ap- 

 plied for, taking the 

 form of two metal 

 laces down the edges 

 of the opening, 

 which are opened 

 and closed by the 

 sliding of a cord 

 with a convenient 

 ball on the end. The 

 bag comes in blue, 

 khaki, and black and 

 has a hana-size strap for carrying.
