Jar-Ring Jewellery
Rubber rings for jars are popular as bracelets in Africa. Natives in the Cape province, unable to obtain brass wire for adornment, are buying black and red jar rings by the thousands. The United States Rubber Export Company sold more than 500,000 rings for this purpose in 1946. But the demand will not handicap canners of fruit and vegetables in the United States. There are enough rings being produced for both canning and fashion, the company reports.
