Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much Of it had
been rejected. But that "off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance Of

Early in A~ugust-when war began--the

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 cabled 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 extra-grade
