THE PENNSYLVANIA RUBBER CO. 



The Pennsylvania Rubber Co., which was incorporated in 

 May, 1899, by Herbert Du Puy and others, began business in 

 Erie, Pennsylvania, where it bought up the business of the Key- 

 stone Rubber Co. and the plant of the Erie Rubber Co., one 

 of the pioneers in the trade, going back to the '80s. Three years 

 later the plant was moved to Jcannette, Pennsylvania, on the 

 Pennsylvania Railroad, twenty-six miles from Pittsburgh, where 

 since 1902 it has gone on manufacturing belting, packing, hose, 

 all kinds of rubber goods, particularly tennis balls and tires, at 

 first for bicycles and carriages, then when the automobile came, 

 for motor cars. 



The business has expanded greatly in late years under the 

 management of Seneca G. Lewis, so that four years ago the 

 India Rubber World published a picture of the improvements 

 in the plant. At the end of 1917 the capital of the company was 

 increased to $6,000,000. 



The illustration gives some idea of the remarkable expansion 

 of the business of the company in the past few years by the 

 comparison of the original factory with the present plant. 



It also shows to soine extent the buildings which the com- 

 pany is putting up to secure the welfare and comfort of its 

 employes. 



The company employed 460 hands in 1910, and turned out 

 120 motor tires a day and as many tubes. This year the num- 

 ber of employes is 2,849, the daily output of automobile tires is 

 3.000, and of bicycle tires 3,000 also, while 5,500 automobile tubes 

 are turned out. The company manufactures, besides, a greater 

 number of tennis balls than any other concern in America. 



The new buildings now being constructed will treble the pres- 

 ent production. The coinpany has also purchased two hundred 

 acres of ground, extending from the factory to the Lincoln
