Arctic overshoes will be cheaper
winter. Our readers have al heard
something about tho Rubber Trust.
md have known that since the forma-
Etion 81 the United States Rubber Co.,
rubber boots and shoes have been
much higher than they used to be.
Several new companies, however, have
commenced the manufacture OF rubber
goods within the past year or two, and
the usual result Of competition has
followed. Prices are down, and the
public will get the benefit. The
first new concern to enter the field
was the Providence Rubber Company,
OF Providence. r. I. The head Of the
concern WAS the Hon. A. Q. Bourn,
who had been in Europe as Consul
General to Rome. The first western
house to put these goods on the mar
sket was Bentley & Olmsted, OF Des
SMoines, who last year had the cxclus.
i've agcncy;, for tho northwest, for
the above Rubber Company. These
goods were sold at considerably lower
prices than the Trust goods, and
Bentley s Olmsted were warned by
the Trust that if they continued to
handle outside brands they would dis
criminate against them. They, how.
ever, were not to be ,ntimidated, and
have this year, secured the exclusive
agency for Town, Minnesota, Nebraska,
the Dalsotas, and MI west Of these
states. Of another new concern. Geo.
Watkinson s. Co. There has been
great reason for complaint because
rubber goods have not worn we'll. Mr..
lYatkinson, WHO'S one of the oldest
manufacturers OF rubber goods, when
starting lis new factory ut Philadel-
.phia, realized that big business
could be built up on a better grade Of
goods. He is Therefore making his
goods Of pure Para rubber instead OF
using part African, which is much,
cheaper, and has also added several
new improvements, such as heavier
soles and heels, and tips on heavy
goods, with the intention Of making
the best wearing goods ever produc Cd.
Another new line of rubber goods
made outside of the Trust, IS made by
the Hood Rubber Company, of Boston,
who make a second quality line under
the brand of the Old Colony. 1t re-
mans to be seen whether the trust
will be able to crush out these new
con Germs. 54
