Nos. I 76 to 184.—Valuable Rubber 
Articles.— One may almost say that India Rubber 
now contributes more to Human Health, Comfort, and 
Convenience, than any other single natural product—iron 
excepted. Any one would be astonished to see the im¬ 
mense variety of articles at the great establishment of the 
Goodyear’s Rubber M'f’g Co., and Goodyear’s India 
Rubber Gi.ove M’f’g Co., Nos. 488, 490, 492 Broadway, 
New York (established in 1844). (Samples of most of them 
can also be seen at 205 Broadway). From the above great 
stock we have selected nine most excellent and useful 
articles, which will be highly appreciated by our readers. 
No. 176.—Rubber Sack Coat, (Gentle¬ 
men’s) “ Zephyr.” The great 
utility of this need hardly 
be specified. It is strong, dura¬ 
ble, entirely water-proof, and yet 
weighs only about 1 lb. or 16 to 20 
ounces, according to size ; can be 
packed in small space; is sent 
packed in a rubber pouch or bag, 
for carrying it in. Made in va¬ 
rious lengths and sizes. In or¬

A capital thing in a storm, the cape coming down over 
the neck and shoul¬ 
ders, to shed rain

breathing fr e e ly.

ounces. F r o m

size. Those ordering, should state

cle. The Pail is full 
size, made of strong 
enamelled Rubber 
Cloth, coated on both 
sides, with top and 
bottom hoops, sup¬ 
ported by jointed

For Jars, Cham¬ 
bers, etc.—A flat, 
round cover, with 
rim and handle in 
the center. For so 
cheap and simple 
a thing, there are 
few more valuable 
rubber articles 
than this, espe¬ 
cially for the 
chamber, in sick¬ 
ness, or at any 
time. Pressing it down, noiseless, it expels a little air ; 
it then adheres so closely as to be air-tight—thus sup¬ 
pressing all unpleasant odors. (In smaller sizes they 
make excellent covers for Jars, etc.) They are easily 
washed. One may well be in every bed-room at least.

Nos. 186-7.” Men’s and Boys’ Pure 
G U m Boots. —The “ G'andee ” Pure Gum Boots (L. 
Candee & Co., New Haven, Conn.) are made with a view 
to great durability, and are claimed to be entirely free 
from the adulterative mixtures with 
which common rubber boots are 
cheapened. The heels are rein¬ 
forced with tlie “Candee” Co.’s 
patent heel, irons , which prevent 
the heels from wearing down, and 
therefore add to durability of the 
Boots. These Boots have also the 
“ Candee ” Co.’s patent outside 
straps, a great improvement over 
the old-fashioned inside web straps, 
which always curl up so as to pre¬ 
vent the quick insertion of the fin¬ 
gers. Tlie Outside Strap, however, 
is quite handy, always ready for 
use, and perfectly durable. We 
oiler the Men’s Size (Price $4.35)
