RUBBER
Imported Directly

A Bonded Ware House

Remarkable Story OF
Local Rubber Trade
Is Interesting But Does Not Bear
Scrutinv.
Is Interesting But Does Not Bear
Scrutiny.

There has come to the Democrat In
formation to the effect that an extra
ordinary departure is to be made.
in the local rubber industry, which,
on its face, appears to be splendid
scheme. Investigation discredits the
Information, and there seems to be
not the remotest likelihood of the plan
therein outlined being realized: but
here is the story, which is interesting
for its novelty Il nothing more.
1t is that there is movement under
way among Akron rubber manufactur-
ers to form crude rubber company
10 import for all the local factories the
raw material they require. The plan,
1t was stated to Democrat man,
meant the establishment of an agency
at Para, the buying OF the rubber there
direct from the producers, and its i'm
portation to the United States via the
Gulf Of Mexico, and its transportation
to Akron via the Mississippi river,
Ohio river and Ohio canal. \ large
bonded ware house would need be
built here in Akron, else warehouse
at New Orleans would probably be
necessary.
The Democrats informant pointed
out that the manufacturers could save
in brokerage charges, transportation,
ETC., % per cent. OH the price they at
present pay for rubber, and that 12i2
per cent. would pay the charges that
would be incurred by handling the
raw material themselves.
All this has ''wonder-why-no-on
has-thought-of-it-bef sound but the
story does not bear looking into. One
reason is, that the brokerage charges
on rubber bought in Akron amount
only'fto a comparative trife and the
profits of importers are not especially
large. Akron factories require great
deal of rubber, but they would neeu
to use twice the amount they now do,
and more than that before they could
profitably import the raw material
themselves.
