for such argument, ruled as follows:

"That these svitlc provisions of tin

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OB GOODRICH
www
KSiBBBKI
BtSKKUWIi iHYTO
mmWa
GoodricJi is what it is today because during the fifty yean ofilt growth it has adhered to high
f ideals. TIk progress of the company from the beginning has been markedly influenced by the
loyal belief of coery member of the organization in its plans, policies, purposes and products.
GOODRICH AND THE RUBBER INDUSTRY
HEN Goodrich started business fifty
years ago the whole rubber industry
was represented, by a few scattered
plants. The two-story building in
Akron, on the site of the nresent
Goodrich factories, was part of .the nucleus of
the industry itself as it now exists. At that time
few persons ever dreamed what the industry
could become. Scarcely any of the fields in
which rubber products play so important a part
had come into being. Electricity was undevel
oped. Transportation was in its infancy. The
automobile and motor truck were unborn. The
combination of circumstances which brought
about the greatest industrial era of the world
was virtually unseen.
Yet. the history of the company shows that
even in those early days Dr. Goodrich and his
associates were actuated by a broad view of the
future and its potentialities. Radiating from that
small factory and small organization of half a cen
tury ago, Goodrich has built a city. Not alone the
huge city of brick and stone and steel which
houses the great plant in Akron -but a city
which comprises the entire Goodrich organiza
tion everywhere in the world.
It requires people to make a city, and the spirit
of those people is the soul of that city. The per
sonnel of Goodrich is one that has a family feel
inga pride in its work a determination to
maintain the integrity of its creed and which
extends that integrity to the service of the prod
uct itself.
Wherever a Goodrich product is used, it carries
with it the good faith and good will of the organ
ization. The opening of the second half century of
the organization finds it just as earnestly building
its city in the esteem and regard of the public, as it
worked on that far day in 1870 when it was enter
ing a field almost untried and approaching an era of
development passing the imagination of that time.
