JAMES ENGLISH ONE OF g SONS
Goodyear Metallic Shoe Co. President Started
 Career on Farm

James .. English, president of the Goodyear Metallic Rubber Shoe Company from 1856 to 1890, was born in New Haven March iS, 1872. One of nine children, he was the son of James and Nancy (Griswold) English. His father was a ship own- CT and custom ofncer; his uncle, President Jefferson.
 When James was eleven he started his career being employed on farm in Bethlehem where he remained for two and half years. English served his apprenticeship with Atwater Treat, a carpenter of New Haven, and after finishing he became designer Nnd contractor.
 While only twenty three he estab- lished Q lumber company with H. Welch of New Haven, called English and Welch. He became very wealthy while still a young man, in fact 1t Is stated he was one of the wealthi- est men in the state by the time he reached mid-life. He purchased the Jerome Clock Company of Bristol, which was later nnerked with the New Haven Clock.
 January 25, 1887, at the age of twenty-five, he married Caroline A. Fowler of New Haven and remained with her until her death in 1874. He remarked in 1878 to Anna R. Norris of New York.
 English lead a very active life

Charles Goodyear
 New Haven Native
Founder of Process fOr YulCanizing Rubber Was
 Borough Resident in Early Life

Charles Goodyear, accepte q founder Of the process for vulcaIl- lslng rubber, was born In New Ha- ren, Connecticut, December %, 1900, ihe son Of AEnasa and cynthia (por- ser) Goodyear. He moved from New Haven to Naugntuck with his par- Ants in 1905, and as soon as he was able helped his father in ttie hard ware business until he became seventeen when he left for philadel- phia to work with Roger and Bro. thers as an apprentice in the hard ware business.
 Tn 1921, due to III health which continued to handicap him through put his life, he left Philadelphia to come back home where he again worked with his father in the con- cern under the name of A. Good year and Son. He moved this bus lness to Philadelphia in 1928, having been married tw oyears before to Clarissa Beecher, 20, of Naugatuck. This business hourished until 1880 when the company suspended pay- nlents, the beginning of Goodyear's financial worries.
 In order to cancel a large portion of his debts, he was induced by his creditors to dispose of the good will and control of the steel fork inanu. featuring industry--a business both he and his father had been doing very well in up until that time. That was 0codyear's first business error, t0 be followed by many more which
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-12

kept him continually In debt and in prison on numerous occasions.
 Goodyear first became interested In rubber when, as a schoolhoy, he peeled a strip of India rubber from the top of c bottle and noticed that It melted from the warmth of his hand. It was suggested to his mind at that time that 1t would become Q very useful substance if this stick. ing and melting could be prevented. Later he purchased Q life preserver from the Roxbury India Rubber Company and made some improve. n1ents on the tube. He was induced by the proprietor of the store from which he purchased the tube to fur- ther his experiments, and from this time on until he solved the question Goodyear spent his entire time and capital on these experiments.
 For the next nine years he spent the major portion of his time and others money making experiments with rubber, suffering many set- backs and spending a good deal of his time in debtors prisons. During these years he made many discov- cries which at the time seemed to be the answer to the question of how to keep rubber from hardening in winter and melting in summer. In every case, however, the materials used caused teh finished products to decay.
 It was at this time that a friend, upon being asked who Goodyear was
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-12

no record is available of the third. He was 54 years old and in very poor health at the time of his sec- or1d marriage. The second Mrs. Goodyear when asked of her meet ing with Goodyear replied, "I shall never forget the impression made on my mind by the deep melancholy in the first tones of his voice that ever fell upon my ear, as, leaning upon his crutches he was first pre- sented to me"
 Goodyear. returned to his home- land in 1858, having spent his last time in jail in London in 1856. Tn 1889 he purchased a home in Wash- ington, D. C., where he lived until his death one year later. He was said to be very i'll with gout at this time, but it has been ascertained that he was suffering from poison- ing caused by the white lead used in his earlier experiments.
 On May 30, 1860, Goodyear heard that his daughter, Cynthia, 32, was dying in New Haven. He attempted to see her but upon reaching New York from Washington. learned of her death. He was unable to leave the hotel in New York, and on Sum- day, July 1, 1860, he passed away in a room at the Fifth Avenue Hotel at 2Srd Street and Broadway.
 During 1S years of his connection with the rubber industry, Goodyear had receipts of $l62, ,894.00 and his expenditures were $l0S, ,160.40, show ing a profit of S4,733, ,63. or $3,040.- 70 @ year. This was not a large in- come for the inventor of the pro- cess which made the rubber indus try one of the largest of the time.
 Goodyear's old enem:. Horace Day, dded in Manchester, New Hampshire, comparatively pennileSs, although he was worth a million, at least twice during his lifetime.
 The Right Reverend Edwin stev- ems Lines, D. D., Bishop of Newark, in his Personal Recollections of Naugatuck" stated:
 "At the corner of Main and Bridge streets, Union City, now ohscured by other buildings was the home of Mir. Charles Goodyear, whose name, beyond other names is associated in the world, with Naugatuck. He was the son of MT. AKnasa Goodyear, manufacturer of various articleS in Union City, 1808-i831.
 'The famous son was born in New Haven in 1900 and died in New York in 1860.
 He lived in many places as he pursued Q long search to find a pro- cess for vulcanizing India Rubber. His life was not unlike that of many great inventors and benefactors of the world. The story of his life has not been adequately told and the world in the enjoyment in unnuzn- bered ways of his invention, has scant knowledge of his struggle, ais- appointments, and perseverance. No community should 90 before Nauga- tuck in remembering him and hon. oring his memory"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-12

replied. 's1f you meet a man who has on an India rubber cap, stock, coat, vest, and shoes, with an India rubber money purse without a cent of money in it that is he"
 It was not until 1880 that he hit upon the solution. He had been gex- perimenking with the effects of heat on rubber compound when he acci- dentally dropped some of the com pound onto q stove which caused the colnpoun dto harden rather than hecaonle fnushy as heretofore.
 From this time until i8as Good year attempted Co get financial backing in order to continue his ex- periments, but the public having had rather tinfavorable experience with rubber up to that time, refused to invest any additional capital in his venture. He appealed to his rel- atives and received financial back ing from William de Forest of Naug- atuck. Connecticut where he then moved his experiments. From this time on Naugatuck has been the home of vilcanised rubber industry.
 Although there were a great num- Der Of suits to determine who was the inventor of the process, 1t is acc cepted now that Goodyear was the founder of the process of vulcaniza- ton. Goodyear believed that during this time he was carrying on the Lords work, stating in his book, ''Cunn Elastic,h "The creature may imagine he is only executing some plan of his own, while he is the instrument in the hand of his Maker, contributing to execute his purpose, which, though we cannot fathofIn. we may believe involves, with the highest elevation of minds and morals, the highest improve Inent of things material"
 Up until 1852, the year of Good- years famous suit against Horace Day and the year when he was le- gally declared the true founder of vulcanization. very little is known except that he continued his experi- ments and that he suffered in jail on a number of occasions.
 Tn 1852 Goodyear left for Europe where he intended to place his in- ventions before the eyes of foreign manufacturers, using money bor- rowed from his brother in Jaw, William de Forest. He remained in Europe until 1858, two years before his death, and while there exhibited his inventions at London and Paris. It was ct the Paris Exhibition that Napoleon III complimented him on his rubber cannon balls. No one bothered to explain that he refer red to footballs. During his stay in Paris, Goodyear was made an ofti- cer in the French Legion of Honor on December 5. 1855. He received the award in Clichy Deptors' Pri- son during one of his three terms there.
 It was during his stay in the pri. son that he made the now famous remark. T have been through near ly every form of trial that human flesh is heir to and find that there is nothing in life to fear but sin" It was this philosophy which enabled him to endure the hardships he en. countered through life.
 During his European stay, his wife, mother of nine children, died on March 30, 1853, and thirteen months later he married Q 2O-year old girl named Fanny Wordeil. He had three children by this woman, two of whom died in their first year

Goodyear Family Lived in Union City Dwelling
 for S1 Years

On North Main Street in Union City, Naugatuck, opposite City Hill Street, is a house erected over 120 years ago that is attracting atten. ton of tourists travelling through the beautiful Naugatuck Valley. This house, although not artistic in design, was the home of Charles Goodyear, who invented the pro- cess of vulcanization of India Rub- Der in 1889 and the man who did so much to make Naugatuck one of the foremost rubber centers of the world.
 Nearly every resident in Nauga. tuck and Union City knows the achievement of Charles Goodyear, but there are many of them who do not know where he lived.
 Tn scrutinizing the history of Union City, which is part of Nauga. tuck, we find that 1t has a very in- teresting history and possesses some very old land marks. 'The Porter House" located off North Main street near Weber's corner sheltered General Washington when he was making an inspection of his army in Connecticut. This house is still standing and is occupied by two families. Tn connection with this landmark is the house where Faith CT McGivney was born, located on North Main near Platt's Mills. Father McGivney organized the or- der of Knights of Columbus.

SYNTHETIC PLANT

Naugatuck Factory One of First in Nations Pre-.
 War Planning Program

The tooth anniversary of the pro- duction of vulcanized rubber shoes and the first anniversary of pro- duction of synthetic rubber in Naugatuck were observed simul- taneously.
 The Naugatuck synthetic plant of the United States Rubber com- paIly, one of the first units of the nation's pre-war planning program, has been in operation since Septem- Der 16, 1942.
 Construction of the massive plant started in September 194l, three months before Pearl Harbor. De- signs for the unit were prepared in 194O, the contract was let in May, 1941 and the first production was realized a year and a half later.
 Originally intended as 2,5O0 ton capacity u n t, h e Naugatuck plant now has an annual capacity of 30OOO tons of synthetic rubber. The company has also built 00,O00 ton plant at Institute, West Vir- giIaia, and third at Los Angeles, Calif.

 The Goodyear homestead is claimed to be 120 years old. The family occupied this house from 1909 to 1860.
 In connection with the Goodyear discovery the records show that 1t was his daughter who made the first pair of rubber overshoes, which were afterwards vulcanized in the little shop just north of the present large plant of Goodyear's Metallic Rubber Shoe Company.

RUBBER ENEMIES
 MORE THAN LAPS
Heat, Air Sunlight, Acids, Abrasion or Friction in
 Same Category

Everytime we look around the house we can see what the JapS have tried to do to us--take away our rubber--hot water bottles, ice bags, bath sprays, insulated wire for all our electrical gadgets, raincoats, rubber-soled shoes, garden hose, shower curtains, weather strips, sy- ringes, gloves, mats and 80 on all through the house-No say nothing of the tires on our cars. What to do about itP Save and save until we find out whether and when we can replace the rubber garments and utilities we now enjoy. Meanwhile let us protect our cherished rubber possessions with loving care.
 The enemies of our rubber--besides the Japs - are heat, air, sunlight, acids, pearoleum-oil and gasoline and abrasion or friction. To defeat these enemies we must keep our rub- Der clean, dry and stored In cool places free from strain.
