Bigler Operating
Foam Rubber Firm

to a survey just made by the
Natural Rubber Bureau in Wash
ington. Even so, the survey
showed that only 80 of the po-
tential market has yet been
tapped.
Ralph Bigler, formerly Of
Marysville and now owner of
Columbus new Foam & Fabric
Center, one of a nationwide net
work of stores bringing foam
rubber products to the average
customer, said today: This is a
business both we and the Gus
toners are getting lathered up
about"
Evidence Of the increasing de-
mand for the rubber bubbles is
seen in the fact that the Fire
stone Tire & Rubber Company,
one of the largest foam produc-
efs, opened a new plant at Fall
River, Mass, only in August.
This plant has a capacity output
of $4,000 pounds a year. Other
big foam producers like U. S.
Rubber, Goodyear, Dunlop and
Hewitt Robins are also upping
production.
The uses of foam rubber, Big
Ter said, are so many as to be
astonishing. In the past few
years, he said, more than 800
uses have been discovered.
Custom-made foam rubber
sofa and chair cushions are most
in demand by housewives, Bigler
said. Not as we'll known yet are
such items as foam rubber wet
