PARALLEL BETWEEN WASTE RUBBER AND RAGS. 



In discussing the possible competition between synthetic and 

 rubber the "Produkten Markt" of Berlin states that if a 

 rcalh suitable synthetic rubber is ,ber waste 



trade will not be killed but ably lower 



'-'"'-'-' "' Prices Similat conditions prevailed 35 years ago when 

 w..od-pulp was introduced in competition with rags and the 

 rag dealers became alarmed at the prospect. Yet the rag trade is 

 not dead, though the wood-pulp industry is prosper us 



Reference is made to an American statement to the effect that 

 the rubber waste trade has never been so large as during the 

 last few mouths, although prices have receded.
