Question: What American rubber company bought Crosley Motors, Incorporated?
Context: The United States Rubber Company Mill Complex is a historic industrial facility in Providence, Rhode Island.  It is a large complex of factory buildings covering about 23 acre on the north bank of the Woonasquatucket River.  It is bounded on the west by Ericson Place, the north by Valley Street, and the east by Hemlock Street.  The property includes 29 historic buildings, built between c. 1885 and c. 1960, as well as three bridges.  The buildings are predominantly brick structures, ranging in height from one to five stories, and were built either by the Joseph Banigan Rubber Company, its successor the United States Rubber Company, or the American Locomotive Company, whose property east of the rubber works was acquired by the US Rubber Company in 1918.  Only four buildings built by these companies are known to have been demolished before 1960.  The plant closed in 1975, and has since been adapted to a variety of other uses. Mercer Rubber Company is a manufacturer of rubber products.  The company was founded in 1865 by the Frederick Sayen family.  Mercer Rubber Company operated from a 2.5 acre site at 136 Mercer Street in Hamilton Square, an area within Hamilton Township, New Jersey, from 1866 until 1993.  The company was purchased from the Sayen family by someone identified in New Jersey government reports only as "Mr. Brennan" in 1977, and from "Mr. Brennan" by Mason Industries in 1983.  In January 1993, company operations were relocated to Hauppauge, Suffolk County, New York. The General Tire and Rubber Company is an American manufacturer of tires for motor vehicles.

The Crosley was an automobile manufactured by the Crosley Corporation and later by Crosley Motors Incorporated in the United States intermittently from 1939 to 1952. Crosmobile was an automobile and truck marque built for overseas export by Crosley Motors, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio until 1952. Crosmobiles were "badge-engineered" Crosleys, and were identical to standard Crosley models except for having Crosmobile-lettered hood and rear badges and hubcaps and instrument-cluster demarcations.  The purpose behind differentiating the exported Crosleys was to avoid confusion with Great Britain's non-related Crossley marque. Firestone Natural Rubber Company, LLC is a subsidiary of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company.  Headquartered in Indianapolis, the company operates the largest contiguous rubber plantation in the world in Liberia, which first opened in 1926. Ray P. Dinsmore was an internationally recognized rubber scientist, known for pioneering the use of rayon as a reinforcing material in auto tires.  In 1928, Dinsmore patented the first water-emulsion synthetic rubber in the United States.  The material later became a staple of the rubber industry during the World War II shortage of natural rubber.  Dinsmore worked for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and developed Chemigum, an early synthetic rubber.  Dinsmore served as Chairman of the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society in 1927.  He received the 1947 Colwyn medal and was named the 1955 Charles Goodyear Medalist. George W. Drum (October 3, 1925–December 16, 1997) was an early leader in automobile club circles, and the first director of the Crosley Car Owners Club in 1952.  With Edward Herzog, he worked to preserve the stock of spare parts for Crosley automobiles and trucks when the parent company Crosley Motors, Incorporated was sold to General Tire in July 1952 and production halted on July 3 of that year.  George W. Drum resided at 2101 Greenway Avenue in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Abir Congo Company (founded as the Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company and later known as the Compagnie du Congo Belge) was a company that exploited natural rubber in the Congo Free State, the private property of King Leopold II of Belgium.  The company was founded with British and Belgian capital and was based in Belgium.  By 1898 there were no longer any British shareholders and the Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company changed its name to the Abir Congo Company and changed its residence for tax purposes to the Free State.  The company was granted a large concession in the north of the country and the rights to tax the inhabitants.  This tax was taken in the form of rubber obtained from a relatively rare rubber vine.  The collection system revolved around a series of trade posts along the two main rivers in the concession.  Each post was commanded by a European agent and manned with armed sentries to enforce taxation and punish any rebels.
