Goodyear to Extend
Policy Of Making
Employees Partners

For the last ten years the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company has followed
policy Of making young partners Of
such of its employees as have shown
special ability and rendered highly eff
cient service. by making them common
stockholders In the company. Goodyear
has 235 OF these young partners at the
present time-branch managers. depart
ment heads, factory foremen and others
who have distinguished themselves by
special service.
The result of this policy has been 90
satisfactory that the company now pro-
poses TO extend It. The organization has
grown nightly In the last few years,
Just ais the business has grown, and
more candidates for young partner
ship" are under consideration.
To that end stockholders meeting
will be held June 1 to authorize an In
crease in the company's common stock,
as all the present authorized common is
outstanding and none is available for the
proposed distribution.
In the past Goodyear has disposed Of
its stock to employees on the basis OF
five-year contracts. simply setting the
stock aside in the beneficiarys name and
permitting dividends. cash and stock, to
accumulate to the end of the period,
when settlement is made. The employe
really purchases the stock at par. though
most OF the payments automatically take
care of themselves.
