How rs Women Lost Ugly

is made right here in U. S. A. from
famous English formula.
And this is IMPORTANT: Kruschen Is
NOT harmful. 1t is not just one salt as
some people ignorantly believe. Rather.
it's a blend of active minerals, which
when dissolved in water make a health
full mineral drink similar to effective
Spa waters where wealthy women have
gone for years. A jar of Krusehen costs
only a few cents and lasts weeks.
So fat ladies-get some gumption
MAKE UP YOUR MIND YOU'LL STICK
to the above Plan for % days and just see
if you don't lose fat and feel healthier
and younger. You can get Kruschen at
druggists everywhere.

action of two bonds.
Norwegian and Danish issues

down 4 at one time. OFF 2 to around

Purchase Of Fisk
Rubber Corp.
Davis Reveals His
Firm Is Negotiating
For Properties
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Francis B.
Davis, jr., chairman and president Of
the United States Rubber Co., an
nounced today his company was ne
gotiating for the purchase of the
Fisk Rubber Corp. and planned to
make wider use of the Fisk plants
if the deal goes through.
Fisk, one of the smaller tire man
ufacturers, has plants at Chicopee
Falls, Mass, and New Bedford,
Mass. A year ago it acquired q
rubber factory, in cooperation with
Swedish interests, at Viskafors,
Sweden.
The merger would put Fisk, with
assets Of around $14,000,0 900, into one
Of the biggest rubber companies in
the world, manufacturing practically
every product made wholly or in
part from rubber.
The $180,OO0,0OO United States
Rubber Co. has cut its outstanding
debt drastically in recent years and
resumed dividends on the preferred
stock.
Davis explained United States
Rubber needing additional tire ca
pacity. attempted to work out sup
ply arrangement with Fisk and then
turned to negotiations for outright
acquisition when the other proposal
proved impractical.
1--WE consider it better for the in
dustry generally to utilize existing
capacity than build additional plants
in an industry which already has
overcapacity," he added.
United States Rubber, which plans
to move its New York headquarters
into a new building in Rockefeller
Center, also has been reported sur
veying the Argentine market for
possible establishment of a plant
there.
Among the more important of its
% domestic plants are those at De-
troit. Passaic, N. j.; Naugatuck,
Conn, and Providence, R. I.
Other plants are at indianapolis,
Los Angeles, Eau Claire, Wis;
Winnsboro. S. c.; Waterbury, Conn. !;
