A NEW RUBBER COMPANY IN OHIO.

 ton and Columbus. These stores distribute the "Racine" auto- 

 mobile tires and the Cooper Rubber Company's own brand of 

 solid carriage and bicycle tires. 



RUBBER CITY MACHINE CO. 



The Rubber City Machine Co., Akron, Ohio, which commenced 

 business some four years ago, manufacturing a general line of 

 machine work, is now specializing in rubber-making machinery, 

 and is putting a mixing apron for mills, a ringless and boltless 

 core, and ^ hydraulic tire-vulcanizer-press on the market. The 

 special feature in the construction of this press is that it obviates 

 the necessity of dropping the ram below the floor line. The 

 cover is operated by hydraulic power. P. E. Welton. a well- 

 known engineer, is putting in a line of machinery for The Rublier 

 City company, which is said to have a thoroughly up-to-date plant. 



PERSONAL MENTION. 



Mr. George G. Bryant, secretary an<l general manager of the 

 Chicago Rubber Clothing Co., of Racine. Wisconsin, was the 

 guest of Mr. F. H. Peaty, of the Raw Products Co., at the 

 annual dinner of the Rubber Club of America, held January 23, 

 at the Waldorf-.Astoria Hotel. 



RETIRES AFTER 64 YEARS OF RUBBER-MAKING. 



The only surviving incorporator ul the Tyer Rubber Co., 

 which was incorporated in 1876, is Mr. John H. Flint. He has 

 acted as treasurer of that company for 30 years, and all-told has 

 been in the rubber business for 54 years. He has just retired 

 from active service in the company to enjoy a little leisure, 

 which assuredly has been well earned. He will remain, how- 

 ever, as a director in the company. His position as treasurer 

 has been taken by Mr. Frederick H. Jones. 



W. W. WTJCHTER. 



The subject of the accompanying sketch is William W. 

 Wuchter, who has recently become connected with the Gibney 

 I ire & Rubber Co., of Philadelphia. Mr. Wuchter received his 

 initial training in the rubber business with the B. F. Goodrich 

 Co., with which concern he was identillcd for nine years. Sub- 

 sequently he was prominently connected with the Firestone Tire 

 & Rubber Co., with which he remained seven years. On Sep- 

 tember 1, 1909, Mr. Wuchter t^ck the management of the Swine- 



W. W. Wuchter. 



hart Tire & Rubber Co., of Akron, Ohio, and in this capacity 

 developed the business from a relatively insignificant volume to 

 a very important output. 



IMr. Wuchter is recognized as a truck-tire expert and a gen- 

 erally competent rrbVer man, and one who has a host of friends 

 in the trade. He is a man of genial personality and sterling in- 

 tegrity and will, no doubt, achieve substantial success in his 

 present connection. 



TWO POPULAR FOREMEN. 



It is. of course, an economic fact that a foreman wdio is popular 

 with his subordinates can run his department much more 

 smoothly and efficiently than a foreman who is disliked or feared 

 by his subordinates. The Stoughton Rubber Co.. Stoughton, 

 Massachusetts, evidently has some popular foremen, judging from 

 the following paragraph cut from a local paper during the 

 holidays : "Max J. Zinner, a foreman at the Stoughton Rubber 

 Co., was presented a sideboard and a bouquet by those working 

 for him, Wednesday afternoon. At about the same time Charles 

 A. Kartstein, the foreman in the coat room, was responding to 

 the presentation speech when a chest of silver was given to him 

 by the employees."
