Abstract
WE have received an interesting and well-illustrated reprint from the Furnishing Trades Organiser on “Rubber Flooring and Furnishings”. Rubber flooring has been improved both as regards quality and design and the price has come down substantially. The latest type of sponge upholstery is made direct from rubber latex. It is moulded in one piece and obviates the necessity for built-up construction. Sofas, chairs, mattresses and loose cushions are now made of rubber and are stated to be practically everlasting. Lists of companies manufacturing these products are given in the reprint, which is issued by the Rubber Growers' Association (Inc.), 2, 3 and 4 Idol Lane, Eastcheap,London, E.C.3.
