THE NATIONAL TIRE & RUBBER CO.'S GENERAL 

 MANAGER. 



SL. W.\RXER, vice-president and general manager of The 

 • National Tire & Rubber Co., East Palestine, Ohio, is a 

 typical American who has risen to his present position by in- 

 dividual exertions and innate 

 ability. Born in Kent, Ohio, No- 

 vember 9, 1868, his early educa- 

 tion in the public schools was in- 

 terrupted by the necessity of 

 earning his living. Choosing to 

 become a printer, he learned that 

 trade while working on news- 

 papers in Kent, Ravenna and Cin- 

 cinnati, and a printing house in 

 Akron, meanwhile attending night 

 school to learn bookkeeping and 

 commercial principles. 



Leaving the printing oOfice, he 

 accepted a position as bookkeeper 

 for a local firm, and then a 

 wholesale grocery concern in 

 Akron, advancing until he had 

 charge of the credit and collection 

 department of the latter com- 

 pany, a position he relinquished to join the Diamond Rubber Co., 

 Akrun. lirst as correspondent and later in charge of the credits

and collections of the eastern half of the United States. 



In 1911 he came to The McGraw Tire & Rubber Co., East 

 Palestine, Ohio, as credit manager, later becoming ofhce man- 

 ager, superintendent of branches, Pacific coast manager and then 

 assistant sales manager. When The National Tire & Rubber Co., 

 East Palestine, Ohio, passed to the control of the same interests 

 as those of The McGraw Tire & Rubber Co., Mr. Warren was 

 made general manager, and later vice-president, both of which 

 offices he now holds. 



As a citizen of East Palestine, he is noted for his public spirit, 

 being especially active in such movements as the Red Cross, War 

 Service Union and civilian relief organizations. He is a Knight 

 Templar, a Shriner and a 32d-degree Mason. 



A. L. PARDEE MANUFACTURERS' REPRESENTATIVE. 



A. L. Pardee has resigned as purchasing agent of The B. F. 

 Goodrich Co. to engage in business for himself as a manufac- 

 turers' representative, with offices at 512-513 Ohio Building, 

 Akron, Ohio. He also expects to represent several 

 other manufacturers of well known rubber specialty products. 

 Mr. Pardee entered the employ of the 

 Diamond Rubber Co. in 1894 and was 

 rapidly advanced to the position of 

 purchasing agent. At the time of the 

 consolidation of the Goodrich and Dia- 

 mond companies he assumed the same 

 duties with the Goodrich company. 

 During these years he has bought al- 

 most every commodity used in the rub- 

 ber industry, not only raw materials but 

 manufactured supplies as well. For 

 many years, however, he has specialized 

 A. L. Pardee. on textiles as applied to the manufac- 



ture of rubber goods. Much of his time will be devoted to the 

 interests of the Brighton Mills, of Passaic, New Jersey, tire 

 fabric manufacturers, for whom he will be western repre- 

 sentative.
