Due to Quick Action

Early in August-when war began-the
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 that panic-were forced to higher
prices But we have since gone back to prices
charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the broke out. The larger part of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the ADVANCE, $780,
600 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
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para Those the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured of constant supply, and our pick Of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick
est in action. As result we shall soon have in

Still used by German cobbIers.

This method of obtaining a maximum
Of light through the simplest of means
goes back to the Middle Ages. In the
second act Of The Meistersinger" we
see Hans Sachs, the cobbIer-poet, sit
ting outside his workshop at a stall
copied from the model above. A few
days ago I saw a glass globe like the
one shown here, used by a dentist to
perform his operations, and he told me
that the light it gives is far superior
to any other. But I am afraid that It
does not awake in his patients the
pleasant visions which the hero Of a
famous German novel had while watch
ing the cobbler at work.
