Chamber of Commerce members
and guests listened intently at the
weekly meeting of the body Tues
day to an interesting discourse on
the evolution of the manufacture
of rubber told by R. H. Chadwick, j
genial Alaska representative of the j
U. S. Rubber Co.
“It may surprise you,” Mr. Chad
wick said, “to be told that rubber j
was first discovered by Christopher
Columbus—which fact is as true
as it is little known. Columbus dis
covered rubber while on a search
for gold. He saw island natives ;
playing with a ball-shaped sub- j
stance that bounced, and took back ]
to Queen Isabella small specimens
of the faterial that 400 years later
was destined to become one of the
biggest things in the commercial
world, and has since been turned
into billions of dollars worth of
gold.
“Later. Portuguese discovered j
rubber in Brazil. An exploring
Frenchman who saw natives cover- .
mg their feet with the thick black j
liquid, is credited with thereby dis- i
covering the first rubber shoe. In ;
1770 a ball of the elastic gum found j

its way into England and a series
of experiments followed. When it
was learned that rubber would
erace pencil marks, it brought 75
cents a square inch. A Scotchman,
Mackintosh, labored with it for
years. He found that disolving it
in naptha the rubber could be
spread on cloth, and tireless effort
was spent in an endeavor to pro
duce waterproof garments. The
thickness of the substance had not
yet been controled, however, and
Mackintosh was unable to turn out
rt finished garment.
“Probably the greatest early de
velopment of rubber began in 1839,
when Charles Goodyear, a Penn
sylvanian, after purchasing a small
piece of rubber from a hardware
ferchant, commenced unending ex
Iperiments with it, which he con- |
'tinued for several years, though j
constantly chided and scoffed at |
by his friends and neighbors. It
was while in his own kntchen, sev- ’
leral years after his tests began, ;
Goodyear, a kettle of boiling rubber j
I on the stove and his hands full of j
■sulphur, became enraged at the;
tantalizing remarks of a visitor, j
and threw the sulphur, rubber and j
all into the stove, and may never
have returned to his xperiments
again, if it hadn’t been for what
took place immediately after his
desperate action. Hardly had the j
