From the Firestone organization have come many developments that have made transportation history. These include the first mechanically-fastened straightside tire which was the forerunner of the type now in universal use; the first commercial demountable rim which has now become the demountable wheel; the first angular rubber non-skid tread which is now a Pi feature of a» gd ww i practical

fought against the international cartels which attempted to control the output, distribution and price of rubber. As a result, the Firestone Rubber Plantations were

established in the West African Republic of Liberia, and during the war these plantations were one of the . few sources of natural rubber available to the allied

nations.

These are but a few of the many important contributions which the Firestone organization has made to the progress of transportation and of civilization during its “fifty years of service. This remarkable record of achieve.

We believe that the next fifty years will bring forth even greater achievements. For example, in synthetic rubber, different formulas are constantly being created to meet specific needs. Technically speaking, synthetic rubber is a plastic and anyone acquainted with the plastic industry ceases to be amazed at the new uses developed and predicted for this material.

THE FIRESTONE TIRE

Present-day fire manufacturing equipment is s highly - efficient, yet we constantly are working on new and improved designs, always seeking to make our machines still more economical, simplér to operate, safer and more accurate. A major project of interest to us is the conversion to new and revolutionary sources of power. Present methods of generating power may give way to atomic energy. Electronic vulcanization shows great promise. Indeed, fifty years from now, a tire manufac. turing plant may bear little resemblance to the modern tire plant of f today.

This" year, as we celebrate the completion of half a century of service, we of the Firestone organization are looking ahead, planning ahead and working ahead so. that we shall continue to uphold our tradition of always giving to those who rely on us the “Best Today, Still Better Tomorrow.”
