Wlun liis father started reclaiming rubber from scrap in 1898,yuung .Xiiplelou went into the factory. Being naturally an in-vestigator, witli a good knowledge of chemistry and H. Apjleton, Jk. he took upon himself tile task of improving the output of theworks, so that the stock would come out cleaner, and thereforebe more marketable. His success was complete, and the ma-terial became so superior that the trade quickly alisorbed theentire output. After having succeeded with scrap boots and shoes, Mr. Ap-pleton turned his attention to the reclaiming of mechanicalscrap, and the result of a years investigation and experimentwas the working out of a process for reclaiming all kinds ofmechanical stuflf, and carloads of the waste from different fac-tories were taken, from which was extracted a fine quality ofworkable rubber. He was the pioneer in this restoration, as hewas also, later, in producing a high-grade rubber from wornautomobile tires. Mr. .Appleton has proved himself thorough in investigation,apt in invention and most resourceful. He succeeded in givingto the rubber trade a high-grade stock which has always beenmarketable at a price commensurate
