Very OuaalI Dua1neOs-Whlto Ruhber.
For some years past, the combination who are
trying to monopohze the entire rubber business
have cried down and sneered at Tyer 4 HELMS
discovery and patent Of White Rubber, Is "good
70, so aep ae to prsvss sSs puso
from its use. Failing in this, and seeing its i'm
mense value cannot be smothered, the combine
tion are now violating my patent The Union
India Rubber Company have abandoned for many
entire classes Of goods the English process under
which they have, for years, conducted their manu-
facture, but fraudulently stamped "Goodyears
Patent" and commenced pirating upon my Zinc
Rubber Patent, for the manufacture Of white and
all colored rubber goods, and in utter violation
and disregard Of my rights.
But the meanest part of the affair is that they
stamp the goods made according to my patent,
which they have SO long ran down "Goodyear's
public, whs will probably consider it as do, very,
very small business The smallest kind of pilfer
ing has some apology, however.
The White Rubber goods, clothing of all kinds,
coats, capes, tapestry, furniture covers, piano
spreads, gloves, hospital sheeting, all articles
for the army and navy, indeed for all purposes
where rubber was ever used my patent is a hun
dred fold better and handsomer than any ever be-
fore made.
The public are cautioned that have sued for
piracy the Union India Rubber Company, and must
prosecute dealers if they pirate upon my patent, by
seizing the goods so fraudulently made and stamp
ed:
The laws of Congress impose penalty of 800
fine for every article so practically stamped. This
patent is my property, invented by my foreman in
my employ, cost me thousands of dollars in time
and money in experiments, besides four thousand
dollars paid the worthy men who discovered it for
their invention. No one in the trade is so stupid
as not to know these goods are fast drawing all
others and all other patents out of the market
hence the fresh and violent newspaper attacks and
libels procured to be published against me by the
combination, who are seeking in violation of every
lot,r ,,,1
by the combination ofcapital, to rob me Of my pro-
perty and valuable patent rights-fasely pretend
ing that l pirate Goodyears patent while they
know very well that nobody uses Geodyear's pa
tent anywhere. l also have suits commenced to
over $500, 900 damages, for their pirating of
my shirred goods, patents-which, sooner or later,
they must pay over.
Is not this piracy and stamping &C Goodyear patent
upon my patent rather small business for wealthy
combination to be guilty of? VIII they deny 1T
Will they give me achance toprove it No, for they
dare not come to trial upon any of the main ques-
tions again, since my recent verdict and Judgment
at Trenton, the cost of which ] cannot yet col
lect. With three large factories which will soon
be greatly increased, hope to supply more rapidly
all the orders for my most valuable white rubber
fabrics. Horace II. DAY.
ADVERTISE MENT.
Horace III. Day, the convicted infringer, and the
only infrnger in the United States, on every patent
that is essential in the process of manufacturing
talic heated or vulcanzed Rubber, is again COM
PEELED to force himself upon the public Convicted,
We say, because mans deliberate confession, under
his own hand aud SEAL is the strongest possible
proof Of guilt We have not asked that our own
statements should be received as evidence of his
guilt, but We have, in proof, produced Days own
written and deliberate acknowledgements of the va
lidity Of Goodyears patents, under his own hand
and seal; the payment in November, 1916, of
$1,000, for past nfringements, and for license
to manufacture under the patents the recovery of
a verdict and Judgment against his agents for such
infrngements, and Days covenants to pay tariff
on all the goods he might manufacture, and to stamp
them "Goodyear's PATENT" and for proof of this
we have published copy of the license which he
bought of Goodyear to work under these same pa
tents which he is now sued for again infringing as
also copy of the advertisement which he published
shortly after obtaining license, offering $50 reward
for such evidence would lead to the conviction
and punishment of nfringers on Goodyears patents.
This isit:-
From the New Brunswick Times, Jan. 5, 1S47. /
About thirty days after buying right
$50 Reward.-The undersigned will pay the above
reward to any person who will give information as
will lead to the conviction of any person concerned
in the United States who may be found after this
date engaged in the piratical of any of his pa
tents, those gra,tei 10 Charles Goodyear, used in
the manufacture of shirred goods, the exclusive
right under AL whichis now ewned by hin,.
(Sgned) HORACE III. Day.
We, Also short time ago, for the first time. ex
! posed this Horace III. Day, by showing how he got
hold of Mr.. Goodyears great invention Of what is
denomnatsd metallic or heated rubber, while il
was yet secret, and before his application for q
patent therefor, and while he enduring every
prvaton and hardship in his experiments to perfect
1t, by hiring away a man who had learned the se-
cret from MIR. Goodyear in his factory; and in prcoi
of this we published copy of Days letter. under
his signature and lest IL NAV not have been
by all those who have read Day last publica-
ton, we again publish it,
This is 1t. IL shows when and how Day obtained
Goodyears secret for making metallic vulcan-
lied Rubber, sometimes called heated gum, unde.
