Women Invade
Tire Building JOBS
By SILER FREEMAN

Tire builders are pictured as
husky. two-fisted he-men who
toll and sweat in an atmosphere
Of noisome smells and dirt. 1t is
therefore a pleasant surprise to
find at the Goodyear plant IN
jackson. women scarcely out OF
their teens building passenger
car tires and doing many other
operations in the production OF
passenger and truck tires.
Not that women have invaded
the rubber Industry 10 any great
extent or that husky he-men are
no, needed in the tire factories.
To build the big truck tires still
requires Drawn and muscles.
But modern tire building is a
great deal different from what II
was a decade AGO. Automatic
curing molds, which open by
electricity, and hooks and chains
which lift the tires from the
molds after curing have ellmi-
mated much of the back-break.
