Business is on the comeback trail

today.
The general business level was
slightly higher in July than in
June, but still below the July,

One Of the most favorable fac

employment ran counter to the

Pleased over the general upturn

New York, president Of the United
States Rubber Co., today declared
the rubber industry. particularly
was in good condition.
"Only IS per cent of the avail
able rubber production is being
tapped" he said, "due to British
and Dutch restrictions designed
to prevent the mark , from be-
ing demoralized by over produc-
tion."
Two new rubber frontiers, he
said, are the possibility of manu-
featuring dancing slippers that fit
like a glove but do not pinch, and
golf balls which will withstand the
abuse of amateurs.
"A total Of 1,650,000 dozen
golf balls were sold in this coun-
try in 1887" he said, "and that
figure will be exceeded in 1898.
Golf balls are being constructed
today better than ever before"
