RUBBER
With. Life in it
WJjen you buy anything in rubber goods it pays to
get the kind with rubber in it. Many makers of rub
ber goods are pliant to tbe demana for cheapness, and
hence the market is flooded, with inferior goods that
hardly resemble rubber. Quality counts in this line,
and we are careful to buy of makets who have a rep.
utation for turning out high grade goods only. You
can have confidence in the rubber goods we offer, no
matter how low the price is.
