    Someone wrote up a history of the Rubberset company where I found this:

    “The brush division of the Rubber & Celluloid Harness Trimmings Company didn't have it's own name. There was a contest with the employees in the company to pick the best name and "Rubberset Company" was chosen. Andrew Jr. decided to focus on growing this arm of the company and began an extensive and expensive advertising campaign. The first use of the name "Rubberset" was on May 15, 1905, just two months after Andrew Sr's passing.”
