 Just last week MT. Pearce received

 It succeeds in every detail the very ex- | pensive and slow process of running the ! smooth sheet of stock on one machlne 1 and then on another machine running | the corrugated tap, called the tap stock' l With the old method it was then neces- | sary to cut the smooth stock into the 1 form of the sole and the tap stock was | cut separately in the form Of the tap. | This cutting and trimming had all to be done by hand and the taps placed onto the smooth stock, which formed the sole, also by hand. This process, as can be readily understood, was necessarily slow The new machine is especially 1 designed to run this smooth stock and at the same time forming the corru-

 new process also obviates all dangers from blistered or porus solng winch IS
 one of the greatest troubles with which
 the manufacturer of rubber boots or
 shoes has to contend. This insures a
 perfectly solid sole.
 One of the machines has also been in
 successful operation in the factory and
 it will do the work of two machines
 which have been in use for several
 years. This invention is being especial
 ly watched by rubber men in all parts
 of the country and the news of it's per- feet working will be gladly welcomed.
 MT Pearce has had many callers among them being many of the promin- ent men of the rubber industry through out the country who have come here f especially to watch the operation of these several new machines. They have all spoken of the wonderful achieve ments of the inventor in overcoming ! difficulties which have been in the way for many years. The machine for coat 1 ing fabric on both sides is especially demonstrative of MT. Pearce's ability. His father was an experienced rubber 1 manufacturer and he often spoke of the , need or HldCHlle oL tHlS ueSCilplloii' This awakened an unusual interest in MT. Pearce's mind and he made several unsuccessful efforts before producing the perfect machine.
 The perfection of another machine is now occupying considerable of MT. Pearce's time and he is not as yet will ing to divulge just it's exact nature. The patents have been applied for and are pending. When the machine is in practical operation it is figured that there will be saving to any rubber goods manufacturer of from $15,O00 to s2O, GOO per month, that is where the of 10000 pairs of boots and shoes per day is taken as the basis. A decision as to the allowance of patent s expected most any day. It will cost 10000 to construct this new machine,
