rHOLGH perhaps having a wider experience in financial 

 and legal circles than in rubber manufacture, the subject

the Republic Rubber 

 Co., Youngstown, 

 Ohio, and during 

 the seven or eight 

 years that he has

 it, the company has 

 shown steady and 

 material progress.

 1812, and the Civil 

 War. 

 After completing his education at Western Reserve Academy 

 and the University of Michigan, Mr. Robinson entered the prac- 

 tice of law at Youngstown, Ohio. In 1907-8 he organized the Wick 

 Brothers Trust Co. and became its president. This was later 

 consolidated with the Dollar Savings & Trust Co., of which he 

 was made vice-president. He became a director of the Republic 

 Rubber Co. in 1910, and the next year was elected its president, 

 an office he has held ever since. 



Mr. Robinson is a public-spirited man, prominently connected 

 with other institutions in Youngstown. He is a director in the 

 First National Bank, the Realty Trust Co., the Union Safe 

 Deposit Co., and is interested in other local institutions. He is 

 a member of the Youngstown Club, the Youngstown Country 

 Club, Poland Country Club, Zeta Psi, Phi Delta Phi and Phi
