About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The History of the Thing: The Relation of the Raw Product to the Finished Material They gave it the name in Benjamin Franklin's time, one hundred years or more ago, when the only use which was made of the substance was to rub out pencil marks. The designation of this one insignificant use has been applied to the entire product of the article. Whatever used for, whether it rubs or does t rub, its all rubber. A curious bit of word making here. Some of the Shakespearian cipher discoverers ought to study up on rubber. What's in a name?Ay, there's the rub. The native name is Caoutchouc. Don't try to say it - just sneeze. Note the change of a century This is an age of rubber. From infancy all through life we depend upon it at every turn, make use of it in a thousand and one ways. Young America drinks his milk from a bottle with a rubber nipple, stares in wonder at his rubber rattle, cuts his teeth on a rubber ring, wears a bib of rubber, is bathed in a rubber tub, combed with a rubber comb, amused with rubber toys by day, and tucked into his little rubber bed by night.
