66 GOODYEAR ON GUM-ELASTIC. 



ICE-WATER TANKS. 



This article is made of vegetable leather, and is constructed 

 with two apartments, one for ice, the other for water, with a faucet 

 attached, as represented in plate , fig. . It answers the 

 purpose of keeping water cool a great length of time, when ice 

 is put into the separate apartment, and equally as well with bad 

 as with good ice. - 



WOOD CARRIERS. 



Though an article of limited demand, may be advantageously 

 made of vegetable leather or plated canvas, instead of harness 

 leather, which has heretofore been used for this purpose. See 

 plate xiii., fig. 5. 



MUFF BAGS. 



These are made of plated or corded vellum, with a mouth 

 of light fabric, of gum-elastic vellum or tissue, that may be 

 tied quite tight. They are a cheap and valuable article for 

 the protection of furs and woolen goods from moths. If the 

 articles are well shaken and beaten before they are packed, for 

 the purpose of removing the eggs of the moth, the goods kept 

 in these bags will be safe from the ravages of this destructive 

 insect.
