RUBBER INTERESTING TOPIC
Goodyear People Tell of Various
Wild and Cultivated Rubbers
Used in Tires.
COME FROM MANY COUNTRIES
Crodn rubber. Its source of supply an4
the conditions governing It prosrpts from
the source to American tire factories,
have been subjects of especial Interest
In this country of late, says the Good
year Tire Rubber company. England's
tmbargo, prohibiting crude rubber from
English colonies or dependencies to the
United States, threatened for a time the
n-hole automobile Industry, because It Is
well known ,that without crude rubber
there can be no rubber tires, and without
rubber tires .
Luckily through the energetic action of
th Rubber club of I-ondon, after Ameri
cans had given It up, the embargo has
been lifted, conditionally, and a plenti
ful supply of crude rubber now seems
assured barring complications always
possible In a world war.
Crude rubber Is a vegetable product
gathered from certain species of tropical
trees, shrubs; vines anl roots. It was
first Introducted Into Europe In 1736. It
was first used for pencil erasers and In
waterproof cloth, and finally. In solution,
in. cements. Vulcanizing, or curing rub
ber, was discovered in 1844, ' and there
after the development of the industry
though the Industry was but an Infant
In siae. compared with now, up to the
development of the automobile Industry.
There are many kinds and grades of
rubber, and these can today be divided;
Into two chief classes wild and culti
vated. Wild Rubber.
These are collected rrom trees that
have grown wild and where there has
been no cultivation process. Such trees
and shrubs are .found mosty Iff Northern
South America, Central America, Mexico,
.Central Africa and Borneo.
From Central Africa and from Borneo
come the so-called African gums, such
as Congo, Soudan, Massal, Laporl, Mani
coba, Pontlanac, etc. Some of these rub
bers are gathered from trees but roost of
them from vines and roots, and the meth
ods of coagulation are varied. Practi
cally all of them are dried out in the sun.
These rubbers are all of lower grade than
tha Para rubbers of South America.
Cultivated Rubber.
The second class, or cultivated rubbers,
are obtained from EaBt India, Ceylon,
Malayan peninsula and southern Mexico.
The chief and best among these Is the
Ceylon rubber, which has been grown
mostly from sprouts taker from the wild
Para rubber trees of South America.
These cultivated rubber trees have been
Vftrv carefully reared and scientific
methods used in, tapping them, so as not
to. in any way. hurt the bearing qualities
of the tree. The Ceylon product is very
uniform, as very scientific methods arc
used In coagulating, drying and otherwise
treating the rubber before it leave the
plantation, so that there Is a minimum
deterioration due to oxidation and other
actions during the time the rubber Is en
route from the plantation to the rubber
manufacturer.
From southern Mexico? as heretofore
mentioned, comes the cultivated Castalloa.
The price of crude rubber is not only
of Importance to the manufacturer but
also to the consumer, as the prices of the
various rubber products are based on the
cost of the crude article, and the two
vary alike. As the crude rubber market
Is controlled by foreign speculators, the
The
Folly of the Cheap
In
"Cheap things are
made for people who
cannot pay more;
who are forced to get
along the best way
they can.
The people who

Uy pay out more in
the end by having
paid less in the be

an article is not the
