OODYEAR justly claims credit for a wonderful record of War Time Service. This world-wide organisation with its vast resource of raw material, its truly remarkable specialization of human endeavour and resultant high standard and tremendous volume of finished product—all this, gave of its best in service through the years ofwar. Developed during the pre-war years of peace, their organisation for War many times multiplied the capacity of the huge factories at Akron (U.S.A.) and Toronto (Canada), where the Military Experts of the Allies joined with Goodyear in co-ordinating the activities and increasing the output of thousands of men. And every branch of the Allied Military Service had its demands on Goodyear fully and faithfully met in the manufacture of Military Balloons, in the production of Gas Masks, in the equipment of Aeroplanes, in supplies for Hospitals, and the outturn of numberless products designed to save or serve our fighting men. But it was Goodyear's proudest privilege to serve most and best where the need was greatest of all. The whole organisation of the World's production in its relation to the means of transportation depended almost entirely on the Tyre that carried the load. For no other carrying facility was capable of meeting the needed expansion, or suited every type of haul or length of journey as did the special tyre designed for Just that carrying purpose—and none so well as bore the Goodyear brand and name. And this is Goodyear's reason to be proud. For War time needs and conditions of service offered the final and greatest test of Goodyear superiority which gave to Goodyear tyres, as to all other Goodyear products, a pre-emptive right to fame. 399
