THE BAY STATE HONORS GOODRICH MAN. 



THE election of Fred T. Moore as president of the Bay State 

 Automobile Association is a deserved recognition of the 

 services of that gentleman to the association of the board of 

 governors of which he 

 has been a member for 

 five years. 



Mr. Moore was born 

 in Worcester, Massachu- 

 setts, August 20, 1884, 

 attending the common 

 and high schools in 

 Framingham, and finish- 

 ing at the Burdett Busi- 

 ness College, Boston. 



When but a boy young 

 Moore made up his 

 mind to be a sales ex- 

 ecutive, and prepared 

 himself for such a posi- 

 tion by a special course 

 of study. Sixteen years 

 ago he secured the posi- 

 tion of stenographer to 

 the manager of the 

 Boston branch of The 

 B. F. Goodrich Co. Be- 

 ginning thus at the bottom, he rose steadily until, in 1914, he 

 succeeded his principal, and attained the position of manager. 

 He thus has charge in the six New England states of the sales 

 of all the varied products of this great company. 



Mr. Moore is a member of the Boston Athletic Association, 

 the Boston City Club, the Rotary Club, and the Woodland Golf 

 Club, his special relaxations being motoring and golf. 



tions in the sales department, and was later promoted successively 

 to sales manager of that company's factory branches in Pitts- 

 burgh, Pennsylvania, and New York City. 



Mark W. Roe, also recently elected a vice-president of the 

 Republic company, has had over thirteen years' engineering 

 experience with some of the largest rubber companies. For 

 many years he was an engineer on tire production for the Dia- 



Fred T. Moore. 



A SMOKELESS SMOKER. 

 On the evening of Saturday, April 12, 1919, the athletic asso- 

 ciation of the Miller Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, held its second 

 "smoker" at the Armory. Primarily, there was no smoking, 

 which omission was amply compensated for by a highly interest- 

 ing program consisting of vocal and instrumental selections (in- 

 cluding several numbers by the Miller Saxophone Sextet) and 

 a nuinber of bo.xing contests, some of which were fairly fast. 

 The star bout of the evening was between "Jackie" Palmer, a 

 Millerite. and "Red" Schaeffer, who was outclassed from the 

 start. The innovation of the evening was the event between two 

 "African Golfers," whose gloves were smeared with white paste, 

 which ended in both contestants being as "white as they were 

 painted." The affair was a conspicuous success. 



THE RUBBER TRADE IN MASSACHUSETTS. 



By Our Regular Correspondent. 



THE Slate of Massachusetts still maintains the leading position 

 in the manufacture of rubber boots and shoes, as is shown 

 by the annual report for the year 1917, which has just been pub- 

 lished. Nine manufacturing concerns in this line have a total 

 invested capital of $22,224,512, and their total product was 

 $42,472,724. The stock and materials used cost $17,663,113, 

 and their 12,275 employes were paid $8,904,564. Other manu- 

 facturers of rubber goods, represented by 41 concerns with a 

 total capital of $34,548,936, turned out products worth $56,903,602.
