he was killed. Goldsborough

the cord and the chute failed tt
open because of a defect.

BORN A FARM BOY


Firestone was born on a farm
near Columbiana, Ohio, on De
eember 20, 1868. AS a boy he dis
played unusual business ability
and has parents, encouraging his
desire for a commercial career.
sent him through high school and
business college. Following gradu-
alton, he was engaged as book
keeper in the coal business OF
John w. Taft, distant relative
Of former President Taft, IN
Columbus. Ohio.
Successfully, he rose to sales
man. then sales manager. 1t was
while he was demonstrating a
rubber.tired buggy in Detroit that
Firestone visualized the vast op-
portunitieS of the tire industry.
Not long afterward. he entered
business for himself in Chicago.
Within a few years, he built his
business to a point where he could
realize large profit.
BEGINNING HUMBLE
So in 1900 with the profits of
this business deal, he went to
Akron. There, with a handful Of
employees in a made-over machine
shop, the great Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company was born. Year
by year as the automobile industry
grew and the field for rubber-made
articles opened wider, the Fire
stone company rose to the top Of
the worlds concerns dealing eX-
: clusively with rubber manutac-
g, ture.
AS his business grew, Firestone
became a pioneer in industrial
welfare. He built home communl'
ties for his workers, clubhouses,
athletic fields, golf courses, or
ganized banks and instituted
stock owning savings plans.
SHOWED FORESIGHT
His foresight revealed the neceS'
sity of controlling factor sources
for supply, so he purchased cot
ton mills in Massachusetts and
established buying centers in rub
Reproducing Malaga. When the
British government in the early
, 1920's enacted legislation d e.
signed to restrict the output of
its colonial rubber monopoly
Ffrestone proved himself equal to
the task of smashing the inevi.
table advance in price of crude
rubber, which would have imposed
"a burden of millions Of dollars
on this nations car owners.
He convinced Congress of Ii
beria's rubber.producing possibili-
ties and within a few years trans
formed thousands of acres of vir-
gin soil in the African republic
into a reservoir for the rubber in
duStry. At the same time, Fire
stone joined with a rubber buyers
pools in New York, designed 20
increase rubber production by the
Dutch, in the fight against the
British monopoly.
At the age of 27, Firestone mar.
r1ed 1dabelle Smith. of Jackson,
Miss. who bore him five sons,
Harvey. jr.. Russell, Leonard K,
Raymond c., and Roger S., and
one daughter, Elizabeth Idabelle.
:, AL five sons were graduated from
Princeton University. All five en-
tered the employ of the Fire
stone Company after graduation.
When the senior Firestone re-
tired in 1882, his eldest son, sue
ceeded him while Russell was
named vice president and direc.
