THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
PLAN TO AIDJUJSINESS MEN
ENORMOUS RUBBER CONSUMPTION
Committee to Report to Advertising Conven-
tion on Cost Systems
Over 90,000 Tons of Rubber Consumed in This
Country During the Last Year
PHILADELPHIA, PA., May 14.—Convinced that
an advertiser, to be successful, must be a good
business man in all particulars, the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World, which will
meet in annual convention here June 25 to 30.
have joined with other important agencies in
a plan to devise and install cost accounting sys-
tems in the more important lines of retailing.
The report of a special committee, appointed
some time ago, will show that systems are be-
ing prepared in five important lines of business,
and that the advertising men's committee has
the co-operation of the Federal Trade Commis-
sion, Harvard University and others.
In recent years the advertising club move-
ment has been broadened in many respects, and
one of the things that has occupied the special
attention of the advertising men has been the
increase in the business death rate of this coun-
try. There are now about 15,000 business fail-
ures a year, and one of the chief causes of fail-
ure, investigation has shown, is that business
men do not have such accounting systems as
will show them what is the matter with their
business.
In addition to the attention the subject will
receive through the report of the special com-
mittee, Edward N. Hurley, vice-chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission, who has given the
subject of the business death rate much
thought, will tell of some of the plans of the
commission in its effort to provide accounting
systems.
Crude rubber is a commodity about which one
hears much these days. The demand for it is
increasing steadily and rapidly. New uses are
being found for it constantly. Never before has
the number of manufactured articles been so
numerous and wanted as to-day. In the United
States alone the consumption of crude rubber
in 1915 was in the neighborhood of 90,000 tons,
while the production of all grades of manufac-
tured rubber merchandise is estimated at
140,000 tons.
Col. S. P. Colt, president of the United States
Rubber Co., in discussing recently the wonder-
ful development of both the crude and manufac-
tured industries said:
"Probably very few people outside of the
trade even to-day know to whom and what we
are indebted for the great number and variety
of rubber articles that we are enjoying.
"I refer to Charles Goodyear and to his dis-
covery of the vulcanization of rubber about
1844. Prior to that time rubber goods could
not be manufactured successfully. For instance,
if you had a hot water bottle (and I doubt if
they were made then) the rubber would have
run soon after you had filled it. If you had
bought a rubber coat and worn it in a sleet
storm it would have cracked from the cold
Charles Goodyear discovered a process for
treating rubber with sulphur at a temperature of
230 degrees, which brought about a chemical
change in the commodity, so that it was no
longer affected by an ordinary degree of either
cold or heat.

PATENTS VARNISH REMOVER
Flax Straw, Alkali and Alcohol Used in New
Process to Manufacture Varnish Remover
Karl Wessel, of St. Paul, Minn., has recently
patented a new process for the making of a
varnish remover which may interest the mem-
bers of the supply trade and the piano industry.
In his claims the inventor gives the following
description of the liquid: The process consists
of making a varnish and paint remover, which
is done by boiling together vegetable fiber, an
alkali, linseed oil soap and water, and in adding
alcohol and additional alkali to the liquid thus
obtained.
A liquid of the character above described
is made by boiling together vegetable fiber,
water, caustic soda and a relatively small
amount of linseed-oil soap, and by commingling
a large percentage of the liquid thus obtained
with a much smaller per cent, of caustic soda
and a still smaller per cent, of alcohol.
The patent is based on this process of mak-
ing a paint and varnish remover, which con-
sists in boiling together flax straw, an alkali and
water, and in adding alcohol to the liquid.
ESTABLISH MAXIMUM WOOL PRICES
The Union of Swiss Woolen Goods Manu-
facturers has decided, according to the Textile
Mercury, of Manchester, England, to fix max-
imum purchase prices for wools. Per kilo of
2 2 pounds, these prices are: Coarse wools,
washed, $1.22; unwashed, $.81; medium wools,
washed, $1.29; unwashed, $0.87; fine washed
wools, $1.35; unwashed, $0.96. It is hoped that
by this step further speculative rises in the wool
and wool-waste circles will have been stopped.
NILSON CO. ENLARGES PLANT
The A. H. Nilson Machine Co., Bridgeport,
Conn., has added another story to its factory,
thus practically doubling the production of its
plant. This company is a manufacturer of ma-
chines of all kinds and is one of the few houses
that specializes in the production of machines
for piano trade uses.
