NEW RUBBER TOYS. 



Nothing oilers greater opportunities to the makers of rubber 

 i' \- than the reproduction in rubber of the little personages that 

 have become familiar and dear to children through stories of 

 adventure. Probably no modern child's story is 

 more popular than "The Adventure- of Peter 

 Rabbit." and every child who has read this story 

 or heard it read will want one of the rubber fig- 

 ure- of this funny little fellow, who has been 

 faithfully reproduced in this material, in a figure 

 .- .. inches high, brown in color with a bright 

 blue jacket and with black slippers. The makers 

 are putting out also a "Peter Rabbit Outfit," 

 which consists nl this rubber toy and a handsome 

 copy of the Peter Rabbit book, printed in live 

 Colors, both packed m a gift box.
