In conclusion, we would point out that there is no consistency in the mixes from which the rubbers are made. Apparently Mr. Jones of the Dunlop Co. considers he can produce a mix to give certain results.

Our experience is that he has never been near the mark, judging by the product we receive, and therefore it is not a question of fining off something which is already good, but it is a matter of making something which is really bad reasonably satisfactory.
