Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 22.-The
Women's League of the Congregational
Church Of Flint held an experience so-
cial," at which various members Of the
league told how they had earned 81 to
be used in the work of the society.
The most unique experience was fur.
nished by certain young woman who
had earned 90 cents of her 81 by her
own efforts, and stopped there. In her
dire extremity she wrote to J. Pierpont
Morgan for the other cent necessary
TO make up her contribution. In due
time there came a courteous note from
Mr.. Morgan inclosing the contribution
asked for. and tanning the assurance
that If the Womens League of Flint
ever needed to be helped out of a tight
place again he might be counted on to

the pet Of Mrs. Augustus r. Gardner,

Of himself that from the time that
his attention was first drawn to the
subject. strong impression was
made upon his mind that an object
so desirable and important and nee
essary to mans comfort as the max
ing Of gum elastic available TO use,
was certainly placed within his reach.
Having this presentiment. of which
he could not divest himself under the
most trying adversely, he was stimu-
lated with the ultimate hope Of attain
ing this object.
He was a ruined man, for after q
long struggle with misfortune. the
firm of Goodyear & Sons had surren-
dered their all TO their creditors, and
still owed thirty thousand dollars.
He had family and his health
was poor. He was arrested for debt
and cast into prison. He melted his
first pound of India rubber while he
was living in prison.
Rubber was cheap. and he could
continue his work as long as he could
raise FIVE cents and procure access to
fire
He was seldom out Of prison a
whole year from 1885 to 1s41. and
never out of danger of arrest In
Philadelphia in 1s34-e5, he began his
| Investigations. He soon was able to
produce a sheet Of India rubber as
firm as those imported, and induced
friend to advance him money to en-.
able him TO manufacture shoes. But
as others did. ne succeeded very wclI
In cold wea ther, but the hot days of
June reduced them to a soft, sticky
paste.
Satisfied that nothing could be done
. with India rubber pure and simple,
he concluded to compound some SUBJ
stance with It. He tried everything
he could think Of For short time he
would think he had found the secret
but either the heat or cold would fen.
der it useless.
By this time the patience of his
friends and his own little money were
exhausted
One by one the relics Of former pros
perity found their way to the pawn
broker.
Often his family were in want. and
but for his kind friends and neigh.
bors must have suffered.
He would work on and on, tryiur
one thing and another, but always
with the same result As he had ex-
hausted Pbiladeiphia he went to New
YORK. He became an object of rfdf.
cule. He was regarded as a mono.
maniac. Some one asked how he
should recognise Mr.. Goodyear, tn
which a friend replied: If you sea
a man with an India rubber coat IA
dia rubber shoes, India rubber cap.
and in his pocket an India rubber
purse, with not a cent in it, that IN
he."
He had habit of wearing his ma.
terial in every form, with the two.
fold view Of testing and advertisfnx
1t. His friends, his brother and his
wife now Joined to dissuade him from
further experiment.
1t was not TIL the year 1874. mora
than ten years after he began his ex-
pertinent, that he was able to conduct
his process with absolute certaipty.
His triumph had been deferred. bus
his success proved to be richly worth
the cost.

THE HOUSE
OF DREHER
Founded Forty-Nine Years Ago
by the Fathe T Of the Present
Officers.

Few piano houses in the country can
show thesremarkable growth which has
been pleasing feature In the history
Lot the B. Drehers Sons Company,
Ohios largest piano and organ house
Founded in 1853, nearly 80 years ago,
this we'll known firm has pushed for
ward to success with vim and energy
not often shown in their particular line
of buiness.
In 1S43 the founder of the house,
Baptiste Dreher, started to manufac-
ture melodeons in a little shop at the
corner of Seneca and Champlain sts.,
where now stands the building Of the
Cleveland Telephone company.
Many Cleveland homes have held
and some now hold and enjoy the mu-
sic of these antique instruments.
Mr.. Dreher was practical piano and
organ builder, and from the time that
the two sons, Oscar and Henry NOW
in charge of the business). were old
enough to leave their schools, they were
educated in the construction of pianos
by the father.
This schooling is is no small measure
responsible for the remarkable success
attained by the firm, as it has given
them a knowledge of piano construc-
tion which would otherwise have been
impossible to secure.
A prominent music trades paper, in
commenting OH the growth of this
house, states that no other piano firm
has ever grown so rapidly as the b.
Drehers Son Company. and today they
stand in the piano trade as living
evidence of the possibilities of a bus
mess where persistent vim, energy. and
integrity are used to good advantage.
The present warerooms have been
enlarged fro y. time to time and have
never contained a more elaborate as
sortment of elegant pianos, than is
shown on their floors today.
With rare business foresight. the
management has anticipated the de-
mand for high grade pianos for 1902
holiday trade which is now upon us,
and which shows Enthusiastically the
signs of the good times we are enjoy
ing.
They have placed on their floors an
unusually large stock of the higher
grades of pianos, such as Steinway,
Krakauer, Steck, Sohmer, Dreher,
Vose, Crown, and other makes, as
well as goodly stock of reliable
medium priced instruments.
The trade in self-playng instru.
ments has been no small matter with
this progressive house, and the
nianola, that marvellous instrument
(Which transforms the man who don't
know one note from another. into
a vertable PaderewskD, has been 4
popular seller, while the Aeoliar
Orchestrelle has been sold into some
J of our finest Cleveland houses.
Mr. Henry Dreher, in an interview
stated that they anticipate a bushes,
of over half million dollars this year
The B. Drehers Sons Company are
to be heartily congratulated upon thu
, remarkable successes which have
, crowned their forty-nine years Of hon
: est effort.

CHAS. GOODYEAR.
Something About the Great Pioneer
In the Rubber Business.

At a recent meeting Of the Falls
Success club, Miss Nellie Post, of
Cuyahoga Falls. read an excellent
paper on Chas. Goodyear the pioneer
inventor of processes for utilizing
India rubber The paper. which fol-
lows, will be Of general interest:
We, who are accustomed to see
India rubber used in almost every con-
ceivable shape and form. can hardly
realize that not many years ago IL
was impossible to make even a pair
Of overshoes that would stand the
heat of summer and the cold Of winter.
The story is told of Daniel webster's
being presented an India rubber coat
and hat. He took the coat out on the
piazza one cold morning, when 1t
instantly became as rigid as sheet
iron. Finding that 1t stood alone, he
placed the hat upon it and left it
standing near the door. Several of
his neighbors who passed. seeing
dark figure there, took it for the
lord of the mansion and gave it a
respectful salutauon.
The same articles were subject to
a still more serious objection. In the
sun even of winter they became
sticky. On a hot day they would
melt entirely away to the consistency
of molasses.
The first specimen of India rubber
was brought to Europe in 1870 and,
as late as ITO it was so scarce that
in London it was found in only one
shop. About 1920 it became SUBJ
ject of experiment, with a view of
rendering it available in art.
Its elasticity was turned to account
in France in manufacturing suspen-
ders by threading India rubber fiber
into web.
In England, Macintosh invented his
celebrated waterproof coat, which is
made Of two thin pieces of cloth with
paste of India rubber between.
So far the experiments proved sue
cessful. but. no attempt to use India
rubber alone had been made. Such
attempts began to be made but with.
out success
The English and French succeeded
because they did not attempt toe
much. .
But the Americans attempted SO
much that their failures involved the
inventors in ruin.
In 1920 India rubber shoes were
| first seen In the United States. They
were gilded and resembled in shape
the shoes of the Chinese. They be
gan to be made in large quantities
and business increased rapidly. The
shoes sold at high price, but the
work had been done in the winter
What was their horror to find tha,
their ware melted when the summer
came. Twenty thousand dollars worth
was returned to the Roxbury Co.
which they We're obliged to bury on
account of the odor.
All attempts to harden India rubber
once melted failed.
In 1884 Charles Goodyear became
interested in India rubber. He saws
