BY GOODRICH
Rubber Company Uses
$1,000 Odd Bales of
Cotton Annually

AKRON, O., Oct. Ala fiend for
figures az the B. +. Goodrich Rub
oer company here says that fsO.-
vvv,oVv miles of cotton cord is worked
INTO goodrich tires during the course
OF a year-enough to circle the earth
more than 1000 times. In terms of
a~Voirdupols this immense mileage Of
t9ns. A0'0V0
Al the rate Of 500 pounds to the
pare, which is the average weight OF
= American bale OF cotton, the
uem OF tire cord alone consumed BY
goodrich in a year totals 10000
paies of used cotton. But as onlv
the longest and best fibers are used.
IN manufacturing cord for this COM
pany, there is a certain amount Of
waste that brings the total number
OF bales to a still greater figure.
While cotton for tire cord is one
OF the largest items in the total of
10000 different products manufac-
tured by Goodrich, the use of cotton
Is by no means confined TO tires.
Rubber hose, betting. protective foot
wear n many other items help
greatly to make up this large COM
pany's total contribution 20 the pros
rerity Of cotton producing and cot
ton weaving the spinning regions.
In the balance of trade between the
cotton growing regions OF this coun-
try and the Goodrich company, the
cotton belt comes off with highest
honors. Goodrich contributes far
more TO commercial activity of the
Southland than II receives from that
region for the products il sells. The
lite moi cotton in this massive indus
try is by no means a small factor in
the total Of cotton consumption.
Were Goodrich TO cease manufacture
ing tires, IL is estimated that thous-
ands OF acres Of cotton land would
remain idle.
