RUBBER WORKERS BUY “OLD GLORY LOAN” BONDS According to an official of The B. I-. Goodrich Rubber Company, while congress was debating upon the "Old Glory” Bond measures last week a 'subscription list was being passed 'around the general offices of The B. I . 'Goodrich Rubber Company in Akron. I Ohio. Each signature signified that the writer would buy at h ast one bond | This list kept increasing with name j after name of tile office employees as well as the department managers until the total reached more than a hundred signers within two hours. The news soon spread throughout the large factories and inquiries from every department began pouring :n over the telephone. More pages were, added to the already long list and it was circulated throughout the entire plant. Many of the employees ask 'd no questions beyond that of knowing that they were standing by the president and helping their country in a great emergency. Tonight there is not a single depat tnient in the entire group of large factories operated by the Goodrich Com pany that is not represented on the subscription list. Telegraphic reports of this patriotic spirit to other cities throughout the United States tonight are expected to bring forth a result that will by far exceed those of any previous appeais ever made to the American pedple. The name "OLD GLORY” to these bonds has an appeal that cannot be resisted —especially by the workers.
