Q. Why is the Rubber from the United
State Rubber Plantations especially
strong and flexible?
A. Rubber responds to scientific grow,
ing methods, just as wheat, cotton and
frjm crops do.
From first to last, rubber is grown for
quality on these Plantations. Seed it
selected for quality. The trees are bud
grafted for quality. They are fertilized
for quality cultivated constantly and
clean. Consequently, they yield ex
ceptionally fine latex, which gives
stronger and more flexible rubber,
and better tires.
The United States Rubber Planta
tions enjoy an international reputa
tion as the headquarters of scientific
rubber cultivation.
