RUBBER GOODS
WITHOUT FAULTS
Such rubber goods are on the market
and we have them
The reason so many poor rubber
goods are sold is because dealers will
not pay the price for the good kind
The increased demand we are having
for rubber goods proves to us that the
public appreciate the superior quality of
our goods
When you need hot water bottles
sick room goods nursery supplies
syringes etc come here for them
Youll find our prices right and you
are insured faultless goods
