factory. with the exception OF few lgnor-

bare facts alone are known that crude cot
ton-seed oil from the oil mill. costing about
80 cents o gallon. or about S1S5 per ton. Is
carted in in five-ton lots. and that tons OF
rubber. worth about 81 per pound or 81 600
per ton, are carted ont and shipped TO a
very PROMINENT rubber dealer and manu-
facturer of Boston.
In recent interview the discoverer of
the process. who is an artist of some promi-

went at once TO Boston. where number
of rubber experts pronounced the product

factnrer of Boston recognized at once the
value of the discovery. and took different
