HARD COMPOUND TOYS. 197 



CHURCHES AND COTTAGES. 



A variety of these and other toy buildings are made of gum- 

 elastic compound, in moulds, like other toys. 



VEHICLES. 



For this class of toys the gum-elastic compounds have two 

 special recommendations. They are much more durable than 

 wooden vehicles, and do not make a rattling noise, like those of 

 tin. 



BOATS. 



These fabrics, both the elastic compound and whalebone, are 

 exactly suited to the manufacture of toy boats, on account of 

 their strength and water-proof quality. 



HARD COMPOUND TOYS. 



All the toys that have been described, and an almost endless 

 variety of others not noticed, may be made of the hard com- 

 pounds — caoutchouc enamel, ivory and whalebone — with ad- 

 vantage.
