..RAYBEsTos, A LOCAL PRODUCT
 USED ALL OVER THE WORLD'

Raybestos Friction Facing, the Brake Lining that made the automo- bile safe, manufactured by the Royal Equipment Company, is the original Asbestos Brake Lining. The Company is continually improving it's product, and there is not a year goes by that they do not increase the quality of the raw material that goes into it's manu- facture, and this is particularly true this year even in the face of the ad- Vaneing price in raw asbestos.
 Raybestos does not disintegrate nn- der the action of oil, gasoline, water or heat. It wears evenly and it's CO., efficient of friction is the same for the last eighth inch as when it was originally placed on the brake. It is solid woven fabric scientifically treated and sized to make 1t a wall of strength. There are no frayed strands to tear or stretch or layers to peel or become loose through the action of the brake. It is made as unit and wears as a unit, and is practically in- destructib1e.
 Raybestos is particularly adapted for: use on multiple disc clutches. When made for this purpose, the com pany uses a special treatment, and Raybestos multiple disc clutch rings are used on the highest grade cars manufactured. Their product is known from one end of the country to the other and also in Europe as the standard brake lining for automobi use, and all brake Things are gauged from Raybestos. The greatest proof of this is that there are many other Things on the market, but they in variabIy endeavor to duplicate the color and get as near to the name of Raybestos as they possibly can with out infringing on the trademark and patent.
 The Royal Equipment Company will exhibit Raybestos friction facing and duplex external and internal brakes at the Bridgeport Exposition. To prop erly exhibit the brakes, a standard will be shown on which an automobile axle, wheel and drum will be mount ed, and the wheel run by electric pow CT. In this way the exact action of both the external and internal brakes will be shown.

Potent Hitting Keeps McGraw Men in the Lead, While

S~train-American League Race Continues the Same.

New York, July THE outstand-
ing feature Of the baseball week just
ended was the climb Of the New York
club to leadership in the National
league race. The day period,
with its heavy schedule that included
the Fourth's double-headers. was a
history-making in many respects. CO.
incident with the upward leap OF the
Giants came the fall of the Philadel-
phias. who dropped from first position
for the first time since early season,
and OF the Brooklyns. whose pennant
aspirations met a serious setback
through drubbings by Boston and
New York. Chicago on the other hand.
came up with a rush, gaining ground
fast by its own good week while at
wide breaches were doing much In de-
tense of other first division contenders.
