Walter H. Nolan, assistant manager, Springfield, Massachusetts, 

 branch, The B. F. Goodrich Co., is at Plattsburg, New York. 

 COMPANY NOTES. 



The United States Tire Co., New York City, has made ex- 

 tensive alterations in factory equipment for the manufacture of 

 solid tires for Class A and B military trucks, according to the 

 standard design worked out by the Motor Transport Board of 

 the War Department with the cooperation of the Society of 

 Automotive Engineers. 



H. F. Davenport, secretary of the Brunswick-Balke-CoUender 

 Co., Chicago, Illinois, is prepared to demonstrate very graphi- 

 cally, in the form of an open letter to the trade, just what 

 $9,000,000,000 signifies, this being the amount the Secretary of the 

 Treasury McAdoo states will be spent by the government and 

 our allies within the United States during the next year. 



Girls employed by The Fisk Rubber Co., Chicopee Falls, Mas- 

 sachusetts, are taking an active part in war activities. The 

 Fisk Unit of the Volunteer Clerical Corps, which is helping the 

 government with the vast amount of detail work incident to 

 registration and other new enterprises of the war, has alpha- 

 betized and classified over 15.000 registration cards in western 

 Massachusetts. Delegates have also been sent every evening to 

 the Springfield Armory, an army service rifle manufacturing 

 establishment, where greatly increased production requires much 

 additional clerical work. 



The Fisk girls are also active in Red Cross work, and as sev- 

 eral Fisk men are in the Second Regiment, Massachusetts Na- 

 tional Guard, an ambulance was presented to that regiment by 

 the Fisk company. 



The first woman motor truck driver in western, perhaps in 

 all, Canada is Mrs. Eva Crane, who drives one of the delivery 

 cars for the Winnipeg branch of the Dominion Rubber Sytsem. 

 In her appropriate khaki suit Mrs. Crane loads and unloads her 

 own car ; gets her orders from the office ; delivers goods to cus- 



tomers and railways, and works beside the warehouse men itu 

 the shipping department. She asks and accepts no assistance 

 other than is ordinarily accorded to a man on the job. Her 

 work is entirely satisfactory and she is satisfied with her posi- 

 tion. "I took the job," she said, "so that some healthy, physically 

 fit man could go overseas and fight alongside my husband andl 

 brothers in the trenches."
