RUBBER HISTORY AND GOODRICH 60
 ALONG SAME LINE
Stories of the Two Over Past Fifty Years Are Almost
 Parallel

So many of the things that go to make up the comfort and convenience of our daily life are taken for granted that it is small wonder most of us do not realize the important things that rubber does for us every day and how much it has increased the comfort and happiness Of our existences.
 The story of rubber and the story of one of the biggest of the rubber com panies run almost parallel in their inter- est and it is with particular interest that the pages of a booklet called "The Col den Year of Goodrich are read This is the story of the B. F. Goodrich com pany of Akron, to be sure, but it is also, none the less, the story of rubber and it's developmen because it was Dr. Benja- min Franklin Goodrich who established the city of Akron as the center of the manufactured rubber industry of the world and the development of this com pany is the measure of the importance of the rubber industry as a whole
 The closing of 1920 marked the fiftieth year of the B. F. Goodrich company. That half century has seen rubber take it's place in the development of the motor car industry and If it had done nothing nificant service to humanity.

SILENT SALESMAN MAKES A BIG HIT.
Nine-Foot Cigar Used on Top
 of Dodge Brothers Delivery

A nine-foot cigar, facsimile of the original in every way, is attracting much attention in Boston as it goes up and down the main thoroughfares smoking necessarily.
 The cigar is mounted on top of a standard Dodge Bros. car. In the in- terior of the car is concealed an ar rangement for producing the smoke or 'vapor, which filters out slowly through perforations in the ashes. The effect Is very realistic. The advertising value of the device is increased by the mys- tery of the steady flow of smoke, as there are apparently no pipes, hose or other connections between the cigar and the body of the car, except the flat iron braces, which are painted to be hardly recognizable.
 The first of these cars was sold to Allies & Fisher, cigar manufacturer.. by the Henshaw Motor company, Dodge Bros. dealer in Boston. Henshaw holds patents on the contrivance, and already has created a demand which will un- doubtedly result in many other sales, as the car on which he mounts the cigar has always been a favorite with tobacco manufacturers and dealers.
 Salesmen who drive the car say 1t never fails to make an impression on the retailer, and therefore assists na- terially in making salex. This is chiefly due to the fact that the retailer likes to buy from a manufacturer who ad- vertises extensively, and this novelty is good indication of unusual activity in that line.
 The principle of the cigar is also be- ing applied to other lines of business whose product is a smoke, steam or vapor producing article.

 During the last couple of years, the labor shortage forced a great many more or less incompetent men into Va rious mechanical departments in every industry. This constant shifting of la Dor and lack of competition in labor made it difficult for any manufacturer to achieve his high ideals of perfection.

ment of tires the Goodrich company has played very important part. This IS only a section of it's work albeit very important one and perhaps the one for which Goodrich is best known to the public. -e
 Rubber however. enters into so many other things in industry in the home, in transportation and in the activities of war as well as of peace, that to cata- logue the list of thigs that rubber is and does would be roughly to give picture of cur daily lives from dawn to evening. This is Interestingly told in the booklet which the Goodrich company has issued by way of introduction to the interesting story of Dr. Goodrichs life.
 It was by accident, really, that the rubber industry got it's start. Dr. Good rich, who served in the Civil war, started in the oil business after he had left the service and then took up real estate He found himself soon the possessor of a small rubber factory on the Hudson river at Hastings.

opment of this plant and friend per. suaded him to come to Akron where meeting of business men was held and the factory was established there in 1870 l The business was started with eub- scription of $1,000 each. made by 19 bust ness men of Akron, plus 5000 borrowed from Dr. Goodrich's real estate partner, MT. Morris. The original plant could be put several times over into one of the mill rooms of the present factory. When Dr. Goodrich went to Akron his was the only rubber plant there Now there are enormous plants there, and Akron has grown from less than 10000 inhabitants to city of close to one-quarter of a million people Goodrich started with fire hose because Dr. Goodrich one time saw a friends home burn because tho hose was so poor that it burst. He de- termined to build fire hose that would stand up under pressure and that was the first utility that he manufactured Article after article has been added un- til today approximately 3000O different rubber products are made. These are roughly divided into tires. mechanical rubber goods, rubber footwear. druggists rubber sundries and hard rubber prod ucts.
 One of the things for which Goodrich is famous in the automobile world is the development of the cord tire. Originally this was bicycle tire made of parallel threads or cords in place of a woven fabric. This was first shown by the in- ventor, J. F. Palmer. at a bicycle show ins Philadelphia in the ninetes. Single tube tires of Palmer cord construction were made by Goodrich for electric auto mobiles as far back as 1900. The India Rubber company worked out clnche. automobile tire employing the same cord principle as the Palmer bicycle tire and eventually the patent rights to this were acquired by the Goodrich company in 1912 e@7
 These and many other interesting things are well told in the Goodrich booklet by Wilbur D. Nesbit it's author. The booklet is beautifully illustrated with four color prints painted by W. T. BendaN and has, for tail piece decorations, wig nettes in sepia. It is altogether splen-s did memorial of the first half century of the Goodrich institution, and at theS same time tells the story of rubber n this country.

 MO thoughtful mother with children IN in the house will risk being without a good, reliable laxative. It will save many a serious illness, many a doctors visit.
 When the baby cries and is fretful, when the boy has no appetite and won't play, when the girl is listless and fever ish, when there are complaints of headaches and colds, the mother can suspect constipation. Give Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin in the small dose prescribed on the bottle, when you put the child to bed, and with morning the ailment will have disappeared,
 Dr. CaldwelI's Syrup Pepsin is a popular compound of Egyptian Senna and other simple laxative herbs with pepsin and dpleasant-tasting aromatics. It acts gently and mildly, and children take it without objection. A sixty-cent bottle is enough to last an average fam lily many months. The ingredients are endorsed in the U. s. Pharmacopoeia, and last year American mothers bought over eight million bottles of Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin from druggists. It is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, and few cautious families are ever without it.

 Many victories of readjustment have already been won.
 The company that plays fair. faces competition intelligently and not blindly, and leans heavi- ly on brains, manufacturing ability, advertising judgment, and ceiling intelligence will find the road increasingly smooth. And if many of the weak go down they will only make room for the strong.

mans job, every business, farm, factory, or store in America: 1922 will be a year of intense and inevitable competition.
 Industrlaiiy, this country is starting the New Year with practically all losses taken. with inventories marked down 10 or

 Not only are American pro ducrs equipped to make more goods than home markets will consume, but more than foreign trade is likely to demand.
 Foreign trade IS beginning to diminish. What Golfers would suggest concerning action to build it up has been told and twice told in these columns, and will again b. told. Remedies aside, we all face the ruth that Europe is still churning with bit erness, and in Washington we see an agricultural bloc practically in control of Congress. from whose hands at present we expect little constructive leeiSla-
 ion leading to a solution of tax problems and wise revision of the tariff.
 We have to reckon also with the fact that the only way for Europe to pay her debts to us is with goods, and that her real salvation, along many lines at least, lies in her ability to com pete for business in the makets of the world and in our own

 h 1918 N2 saw the end of the greatest effort America has ever been called on to make.
 In 1919 great prosperity flicker ed up as a suit of shortage of goo3s and imitation. In 1920 we saw a year of uncertainty. with good and bad business depression, which arrived on schedule in 1921, We say again tnat 1922 will be year of competition.
 It will not be a year in which goods are scarce; we shall have more than enough goods There will be no lack of factory equip. ment and of men. But it is quite likely that there will be a real shortage of Brains, Manufactur- ing Ability, Advertising Judg- ment. Sales Intelligence. In competitive times these qualities are priceless. 1922 will call for stern stuff in executive officers. There will be tempt tions to cut prices and offer discounts here and there in the face of compe- tition; there will be temptations to cheapen quality and give less for the lessened price. And like the child who wanders all over the lot looking for better bushes, and never half fills his pail with black berries, many a company will be tempted to wander out into new and untested fields.
 Let us all admit, frankly, that 1922 will call for a different kind of thinking than we have been used to during the past few years. It will call for better kind of sales effort and sales direction. It will call for better understand ing on the part of the factory of what people really want to buy; it will call for the development of that good will, based on decent values and service, which has
