TYRE PRODUCTION
1,000,000 IN 19 MONTHS
More tyres are being built every day by the Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company than by any other company in the world. This high record of tyre production is maintained through the remarkable output of Goodyear's world-wide factories. Tlio most recent demonstration of this was the building of its one millionth tyre by the Goodyear Factory at Wolverhampton, England.
The first tyre was built" at this plant by Goodyear on December 15, 1927, when the rate of capacity was 2,000 tyres a day. Its output now has moved steadily forward and is hitting the 11,000 mark. The Wolverhampton factory is the sixth factory established in the world by Goodyear. Recently, another tyre building factory was dedicated at Gadsden, Alabama, U.S.A., making the seventh Goodyear factory in the world.
In addition to these tyre building factories, Goodyear maintains its own cotton mills, coal mines aud cotton and rubber plantations.
