of the Goodrich came with the popu- larity of the bicycle. When the high wheelers gave way to what was call ed the ".safety'' bicycle, pneumatic tires were introduced, and Goodrich speed fly took up their manufacture. Before this time Goodrich had taken the ini- tial steps in the evolution of rubber shod wheels by perfecting the solid rubber tire for carriages.
 AUTO TIRES FOLLOW The success of this carriage tire, fol- lowed by that of the pneumatic tire for bicycles, naturally led to the manu- facture of tires for automobiles. Ihe first one made a crude affair, with many layers of fabric and a very heavy tread. Improvements came rapidly | however and by the time automobiles passed the freak stage, dependable l tire was being made in quantity. I As the facilities of railways and shipping were expanded, the world be l gan to grow more rapidly So. wher 1 travel and transportation over tn, | highways were made smoother an< swifter. distances were shortened ant
 it became possible to extend indus trial effort and growth. At every poin l rubbNr has helped in the expansion O the transportation facilities of thi
 country.
 Although the manufacture of aut' tires was a large factor in the latte day growth of Goodrich, they ar nevertheless only one branch of tn 1 Organizations production.

good opinion.
Customer ownership is good will building. Our pre-
ferred stockholders have full voting rights in the
Company. Their suggestions and advise
valued by the management. Their influence
makes the company better and more responsive
public servant in every way.
AS long as the Company grows it will need new ca

ing true, our home citizens have the opportunity
to become part owners of the Company and share
