THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[October 1, 1914. 



THE PUMP WITHOUT A GAP. 



One defective feature has persistently appeared in every pump 

 model that has so tar been presented— it spreads at the arch 

 when the fool is bent. But here is a model for which the claim 

 is made that "it" matter how the 

 wearer bends her foot, this pump will 

 nevei gap at the sides, either walking 

 oi standing." This being the case, one 

 problem of tin- manufacturers is solved, 

 for the pump is extremely atractive in 

 appearance, the part that fits so closelj 

 ,ii . mnd the t""t being made of an en- 

 tirely new elastic shoe cloth 

 i\ , ... en i speciallj for pumps. It 

 ide in black, white, bronze, 

 pink and blue, in plain or bro- 

 cade finish. | I lull Gore Mak-

ERASER WiTH PERPETUAL POINTS. 



Where one wishes to erase a very considerable surface it 

 makes no particular difference whether an eraser has a sharp 

 poinl or a dull point; but it usually happens that the erasure to 

 he made consists only of a small line, and it is quite desirable 

 under these conditions to have an eraser with a sharp point. 

 To meet this situation a Philadelphia company has put on the 



market an eraser called the "Dandy" which, as is shown in the 

 accompanying crl-. has a number of "pen parallel slits. As a 

 result "i thi- construction it is easy when the point- or corners 

 are worn down to remove a section of the eraser with a knife 

 and start on the next section, with a new set of sharp pointed 

 corners. These eraser- are made in two shapes, one with 

 rectangular corners and the other with diamond shaped ends. 

 They are made also both for pencil use and for pen use. [John 

 ■ i , 51 North Sixth street, Philadelphia.] 



A NEW DIXON ERASER. 



To the wide variety of eras- 

 ers on the market another 

 style has lately been added.

THE OVERNIGHT TOILET CASE. 



A verj convenient and necessary traveling case for a week- 

 end visit, it i- designed and made up to meet the requirements 

 of the most fastidious. The case is rubber lined throughout 

 and has a limited number of pockets to accommodate the ncc- 

 essarj toilet article-. \s the name indicates, it only provides 

 space for such articles as a short sojourn would require. In de- 

 sign it resembles a novel shaped 

 hand bag provided with a con- 

 venient carrying handle. The 

 case open- at the bottom and 

 when in use it is spread out 

 upon the du-ser or some con- 

 \ emeiit table. It is readily closed 

 when t'ne ease is lifted by the 

 handle, thus folding the halves 

 together, which are held by sev- 

 eral glove Fasteners provided for 

 that purpose. It comes in cre- 

 tonne, mercerized gingham, plain 

 and fancy silks.

new design that will appeal to 

 the traveler. It is provided 

 with an assortment of pockets 

 of various shapes and sizes to 

 accommodate the many articles 

 used in the toilet. Consider- 

 able thought has been given to 

 this feature in order to provide 

 convenient places for the arti- 

 cles necessary when traveling. 

 When in use the case is sus- 

 pended and open, thus afford- 

 ing easy access to each toilet 

 article. The case can be folded 

 up and tied, when so desired, 

 by a band provided for that 

 purpose. It makes a neat and 

 attractive receptacle for toilet 

 accessories and occupies but 

 little space in the traveling 

 bag. It is made of materials 

 similar to those employed in 

 the overnight case. [Stern

RUBBER BANDS TO SAVE THE FINDERS. 



It falls to the lot of a good many people doing clerical work 

 in offices to be obliged to turn over a mass of letters or other 

 documents in search of some particular paper. To do this one 

 naturally lifts up the corner of the sheet with his linger, and 

 in order that the finger may take hold of the paper it is gen- 

 erally customary to have a wet sponge at hand on which the 

 finger can be frequently moistened. But this process if long con- 

 tinued is liable to result in a rather disagreeable sensation. To 

 , this -oine inventive genius has devised a little corru- 

 gati I rubber band which goes over the end of the finger, being 

 mil or tightened by a small buckle, and which has enough 

 friction in its rubber surface to catch up the loose sheets of 

 paper. [Tower Manufacturing & Novelty Co.. Xew York.]
