I've recently started playing out of the Rubank Advance Clarinet Book 1.
Within this book is a section called " Studies in Articulation"
The Pieces sound very nice and are a delight to play.
That said I would like to obtain any of the books that these pieces have been culled from.
They do reference the names of the Composers of these Pieces:
Baermann, and Klose and Ive got a music book from each of these.
The other 3 who I am not familiar with are Bender,Hohmann and Ries.
Are there any books by the last 3 that I would be able to buy?
If so what would the titles be?
Thanks!

You left out "etc."
Hohmann and Ries were violinists who wrote (or arranged) pedagogical material for violin study. Nothing comes up about Bender in a quick Google search, but he probably also produced violin study pieces. Lots of the clarinet study music from the late 19th and early 20th centuries was borrowed from earlier violin methods. The Rose studies, for example, are all versions of violin etudes optimized by Rose for clarinet. At least one (that I see at first glance) of the Rubank articulation studies comes from the 45 Exercises in Klose (Vol. 1 if you have the divided edition). Both Baermanns - father Heinrich and son Carl - were composers. I've never seen anything earlier than Volume 3 of Carl Baermann's method, so I don't know what the Baermann source was for the Rubank studies. The advanced volumes are excerpted from separate compositions by Carl Baermann for clarinet and either piano or orchestra and are much more difficult and extended than the Rubank studies, so maybe they come from the first or second volume.
There's an excerpt from Rossini's La Gazza Ladra overture (#21) among the Rubank studies.
