AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE

We have undertaken to print this booklet, telling you how rubber
is grown, gathered, and then made useful, for this reason:

The United States Rubber Company, as the largest rubber
manufacturer in the world, wants the coming generations of our
country to have some understanding of the importance of rubber in
our every day life.

We hope to interest and inform you. We believe the rubber industry
will be better off if the future citizens of our country know more
about it.
