The Rubber Trade Preparedness Committee. 



THAT the rubber trade is fully alive to the importance of an 

 active campaign for "Preparedness,' is manifested by the 

 interest taken by the large number of leading firms and 

 corporations, in the rubber and allied trades, to cooperate with 

 (he Committee on Preparedness of The Rubber Club of America, 

 Inc., and to disseminate its literature, primarily among rubber 

 men, but also to the public generally. 



The Executive Committee on Preparedness of the club con- 

 sists of Raymond U. Price, chairman. United States Rubber Co. 

 System, New York City; Harvey S. Firestone, Firestone Tire 

 & Rub"ber Co., Akron, Ohio; George B. Hodgman, Hodgman 

 Rubber Co., Tuckahoe, New York; and Harry S. Vorhis, sec- 

 retary. New York City. 



More than 125 rubber concerns have appointed representatives 

 in nearly 150 cities in the United States as members of local 

 'committees, to promote the movement and to arouse public 

 opinion to the importance of bringing the nation to a state of 

 preparedness. In addition to these, representatives have been 

 appointed in many factories to act as sponsors for this move- 

 ment among the employes, their special efforts being to urge 

 the naturalization of foreign born employes. Such cooperation 

 of wideawake, earnest, enthusiastic men must prove an effective 

 force in furthering this important movement. 



The following list gives the concerns which have thus far 

 signified their assurance of cooperation, and the names of their 

 appointees in various cities on this committee :
