And, for the time being, our prices are the

Early in August-when war began-ths
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to us
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-in that panic-were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part Of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabed them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the ADVANCE $780,
900 pounds Of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to us.
And it means practically all Of the ertra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the worlds
chief sources Of rubber. So we are pretty we'll
