1920 BANNER YEAR.

That 1920 will be banner year in
the automobile industry is the pre-
diction made by manufacturers.
American companies are planning
production schedule on that basis and
have started large factory extensions
to care for the expected demand.
With the increased use of automobile,
the tire manufacturers are also called
upon for greater production. Among
others. The Goodyear Tire and Rub
Der Company has begun work on ex-
tensions and now has $4,000 employees
on the payrolls at it's two plants in
Akron, Ohio, making a total of about
10000 employees in all it's factories
and branches all over the world. II
Is expected that this number will be
greatly Increased before the end OF
the year When extensions IN Akron
and a new Factory in Los Angeles are
completed Several Thousand more
workers should be employed.
