MANUFACTURE OF TYRES
NEW FACTORIES IN ENGLAND British Wireless—Press Assn.—Copyright RUGBY, Thursday. Further important developments are to take place in the manufacture of rubber tyres in England. It is learned that the Firestone Company and the Pirelli Company, who have hitherto supplied this market from their factories outside England, are to build new works here. They are preparing for a large output. There are now three firms which have taken this step since Mr. Winston Churchill, in his last Budget, included tyres in the same fiscal category as motor-cars, and imposed on them an import duty of 33 1-3 per cent. The third firm is that of Messrs. Goodyear, which announced in July that it was about to establish a factory at Wolverhampton, where it would employ 1,000 men in tyre making.—A. and N.Z.
