This advertisement for the
United States Rubber Company's T-56 rubber appeared in the Annual Edition of Air Trails. T-56 was a very
popular choice for free flight modelers back in the day.

American Modeler. United States
Rubber Company was one of the original 12 companies used to calculate the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) for

free flight model world with T-56 rubber for powering.
