I irestone racing records form the subject of an attractive folder 

 the Firestone 'lire & Rubber Co., of Akron, Ohio, are sending to 

 dealers, with a request to hang it in the window. It treats par- 

 ticularly of the road races recently held through the deserts and 

 over the mountains of California. In the I.os Angeles-Phoenix 

 event of <>71 miles, the El Paso to Phoenix run of 533 miles and 

 the 300 mile no-stop run at Corona, driven by Barney Oldfield at 

 an average speed of 85"4 miles an hour, the first machines to 

 finish were equipped with Firestone tires. The company is justly 

 proud of such a galaxy of victories and the folder, with its map 

 and scenes at the races, is to commemorate them. 



\ Year with Nassau Tires" is the title of an artistically 

 designed and handsomely printed pamphlet distributed by 

 their makers, the Thermoid Rubber Co., Trenton, New Jer- 

 sej It is mainly devoted to the victories won during the 

 year on Nassau tires by such speed kings as De I'alma, Bur- 

 man, Mulford and Rickenbacher and advice to tire users in 

 connection with the merits of the Nassau tire. 



"The. Sociological Work of the New Jersey Zinc Co." is 

 admirably described in an illustrated pamphlet by Florence 

 Hughes, superintendent of the Palmerton Neighborhood 

 House. Palmerton, Pennsylvania, established by the above- 

 named company as a social center for its employes and their 

 families, whose social welfare, judging from the pamphlet 

 in question, the company most successfully studies to pro- 

 mote. 



"The Staggard" for December, published monthly by The 

 Republic Rubber Co., Youngstown, Ohio, is brimful of reasons 

 why automobilists should use the Staggard tire in preference to 

 any other. The publishers have collected practical arguments 

 in their favor from all parts of the world. 



"The Goodrich" for December, with its seasonable cover, 

 is full of Goodrich "meat." The illustrations are particularly 

 line and well printed, and as they constitute a large share 

 of the contents of the number it is fair to call it a good one. 



Boonton Bakelite has a reputation for efficiency as an 

 insulation that has won it a place as a substitute for wood, 

 hard rubber, etc., on electrical apparatus. The fact that it 

 comes from the mold finished accurately to size, all ready 

 for use. with metal inserts in place, makes it economical as 

 well as convenient. Under the title "Molded Insulation" the 

 Boonton Rubber Manufacturing Co., Boonton. New Jersey, 

 issues an attractive catalog of the Bakelite goods. 



The Kewaunee Manufacturing Co., of Kewaunee, Wiscon- 

 sin, who, as "laboratory furniture experts," devote special 

 attention to the manufacture of educational and technical 

 laboratory furniture, send us a copy of their catalog, No. 9. 

 of laboratory furniture, which includes everything in this 

 line needed in the equipment of laboratories for industrial 

 wants and commercial establishments. It contains upwards 

 of 260 pages, with numerous effective illustrations repre- 

 senting laboratory furniture of every description. It gives 

 full particulars as to the purpose, dimensions, construction, 

 shipping weight and cost of every article illustrated and in- 

 cludes testimonials from institutions having similar pieces 

 in use.
