THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



51 





Hundreds of thousands of people may think 

 of Goodrich principally in terms of tires — yet 

 tires are simply one division of the work of 

 the organization. Some others are mechanical 

 rubber goods, rubber footwear, druggists' rub- 

 ber sundries and hard rubber products. 



The growth of Goodrich is indicated by the 

 fact that from the original output of fire hose 

 and mechanical goods the list of Goodrich 

 wares has increased until now more than thirty 

 thousand diSerent articles are being manu- 

 factured and distributed throughout the world. 



The progress of the company from the be- 

 ginning has been markedly influenced by the 

 firm belief of every member of the institution 

 in its plans, purposes and products. Harmony 

 of eSort, intelligent work, confidence in the 

 company and in one another — these influences 

 have combined to build Goodrich to its pre- 

 sent great proportions. 



The rounding out of its first half century 

 finds the organization full of youth and deter- 

 mination, alive to the promises of the future 

 and strengthened by the good will and good 

 faith of customers whose patronage has been 

 earned and held through merit. 



AN INTER£STING BOOKLET— Few persons realize 

 the interesting side — even the romance — of the rubber 

 industry and its history. We have published a booklet 

 commemorating our fiftieth anniversary. It tells the story of 

 rubber. This book, "The Golden Year of Goodrich," will 

 be sent in response to a request on your business stationery.
