The rubber heel as a rule has not been a thing of beauty, though 

 American heels have perhaps been the least noticeable in this 

 respect. As an example, the English revolving heel added nothing 

 to the appearance of the shoe and was never very popular in the 

 United States. The latest advance in rubber heels comes through

 the I'. & B. Shoe Reliner, an inside 

 counter-shaped affair made 

 of sheepskin and rubber 

 and gummed at the back 

 for quick and easj attach-

DOMINION RAINCOATS. 



In recent issues of Tin- [ndi.a Rubber World there have 

 illustrated up-to-date raincoats made in the United States. The 

 illustrations herewith show similar garments in styles just 

 brought out by a Canadian rubber goods manufacturing concern 

 and which have been approved by Canadian consumers. The 

 man's coat, which is produced both in lightweight cashmere and 

 in tweed, is for the automobilist, being made with a full skirt, 

 designed to completed cover the knees when driving. It has a 

 militaiy collar and raglan sleeves with verj deep one-piece seye

 are practically indistinguishable from leather. [O'Sullivan Rubber

stitched, inside and out. And to further distinguish it from the 

 ordinary and commonplace it has been given the name of 

 "Kitchener- Special." 



The little girl's outfit includes a detachable hat, as shown, 

 with a shield front and drawn in with elastic at the hack to fit 

 close to the head. The "Duchess" coat for women has the 

 Inverness, or wing sleeve, for ventilation. It i- made in light-
