THE RUBBER CLUB MOVES TNT0 LARGER QUARTERS. 



As may well lie imagined, the work of the Rubber Club of 

 America, Inc.. since it undertook the straightening out of the 

 embargo difficulty with England and kindred matters of in- 

 terest to the club members, has greatly increased, necessitating 

 a clerical force of considerable size. The offices recently taken 

 in the Whitehall building. 17 Battery Place. New York, have 

 already been outgrown, and about the middle of June the club 

 ! into more commodious quarters in the same building. 

 The new offices are on the fourth floor, and consist of private 

 offices for the secretary and the chief accountant, a room of 

 suitable dimensions for committee meetings, and a large room 

 adequate for the use of the clerical force. 



The Rubber Goods Manufacturers' division and the Rubber 

 Sundries Manufacturers' division of the club are now engaged 

 in carrying out some important work for their particular branches 

 of the trade. The government of Canada has recently decided 

 to allow scrap rubber to be exported to the States, and all these 

 increased activities have compelled the club to move into these 

 more adequate quarti rs 



Speaking of the import of Canadian scrap, this rubber, in car- 

 load lots, i- I i be consigned to the New York British consul, and 

 cleared after the usual guarantees made by the importer have been 

 approved by the club. A charge of 50 cents a ton is made for 

 this service.
