A NEW INDUSTRY.
Interesting Exhibit of Possibilities of
Rubber Textile Fiber Root

W. NJ. Sunderland Of Lehl has a very
interesting exhibition In the window OF
the hardware department OF Y. c. NJ l.
setting forth the possibilities OF the
rubber textile fiber root Of Utah, better
known among the old settlers as the
old Indian root. The products Of this
latest discovery when treated by pro-
cess now being patented by Mr Sunder-
land, include a substitute for the natur-
al rubber fiber and potash. The rubber
product Is shown In its various stages.
In It's crude state II Is black In color
and makes fine carriage Narnish.
Other Jars are shown wherein the pro-
duct IA OF a dun color. This IL IL claim

addition Mir sunderland has manufac-
tured some textile fiber boards which
when perfected will undoubtedly find
