"On an occasion of an anni- versary it is a cammon prac- tice ta meminisce ftm a few moments, and as we think back ta the yeam 1930 and the days when we started with Gooco- year, several pictures flash quick]y through aur minds and mingled thoughts present them- selves for expression" comn- mented Walt. t"Probably the foremost pic- tre in aur mindsi is that graup af great Goodyear men, wlo, meant sa much ta us at thzt time, because they represented Goodyear. It was that group, wha, sa ta speak, taok uý bv the band, gave us counsel and inspired us by their leader-ship. To yau, we say a hearty and sincere thank you. To those who bave gene, we pay a hum- ble tribute ta their memory.

For the present, we ai this lass are happy to be associat- ed wtêth Goodyear, which is me- ognized throughout the indus- ry and the country, as the lader in its class, either froin the standpoint af the quality Md~uhj ý"Aa&*ûUàffl Mdgma .product, its relationship with 1the public or its fair dealings with its employees. "Tonight, as we celebrate this important annivemsary with Goodyear, we look ta the future. Foremost in aur thoughts is a desire ta see aur Company prosper and grow, and continue as the leader in the rubber industry. "From this class cames an expression of fidelity ta our Company. I know that I vaice the expression of each mem- ber af the 25-Year Class this evening when I say that, as we appreciated aur opportunity with Goodyear 25 years aga, and the measure of honour and pride we have in belonging ta the Goodyear family today, by the same token we hold a per- sonal interest in its prasperity and growth in the future, and appreciate aur respansibility ta contribute ta thaî grawth and that praspemity.

He spoke of the wonderful spirit af friendship and cooperation within the organization and said lie would rather sweep the floor at Goodyear. than be president of any other rubber company. H-e traced the company from its humble beginning in 1898 with an investment of $12,000 to its present position of 28 plants in the United States and 17 in other countries. These are ail exemplified in a model Tomr in Akron shawing the or- iginal Goodyear plant as weIl as a model of all present plants. Canada was the first plant or- ganized outside the U.S. Good- year now employs over 100,000 people and markets products ta the value of one billion, two hundred and fifty million dol- lars each year. One of the secrets of Good- year's success is their recogni- tion that the consuming pub- lic is boss, if you treat the fel- low with the money right he treats you right. Goodyear bas always given the consumer value and aur greatest asset id aour name, that is why employ- ees are always asked ta pro- tect Our Good Name. The all. around co-operation of every- on e in the orgAp-ization is an - other very important factor in the success of the company, said Mr. Thamas, New Lines Introdueed Tires in the early days was what Goodyear mostly concen- trated on and it still represents our major sales, but Goodyear has greatly expanded in ather products such as industrial rub- ber products, aimcraft, chemi- cals, shoe products, steel preo- ducts, powdem bagging, atomic products for the government, etc. b After our products are made, hthe next thmng is to get rid of , them. Goodyear bas 40,000 edealers, 500 metail stores and many gasoline stations whicn t market our goods. * By 1960 it is estîmated tire markets will increase, by 2o *percent for cars tractors and trucks. New possible productz are rubber springs in autos, crash cars and many other rub- ber articles. In the United States and Canada about 20 pounds of rubbem per persan per yeam ame used as compar- ýed with 1 pound in the rest af the world. Goodyear bas three ways of securing funds for expansion. 1. fmomn depreciation. 2. plaugh- ing back the profits. 3. borrow- ing money. Mr. Thomas then gave plans enumerating the future expansion of Goodyear ail over the womld. Mr. Thomas said every part of aur business is important but nathing really happens until we start selling and when the selling starts the productioni stamts and when ail is said and done everything depends an the loyalty and the ability of the arganization ta put things over, cancluded Mr. Thomas. P. W. Lltchfield, Board ClA&irman P. W. Litchfield, chairman of the Board, with over 50 years' service, who has headed the campany during its major years of expansion, in a few brief memarks mentioned that the campany was pretty wel stabilized and as Mr. Thomas stated, the public will continue ta be aur boss. He mentianed air transportation and great future possibilities for the rub- ,er business. He alsa toak the opportunity ta thank the Goodyear people in Canada for the wonderful job they have done, and men- tioned no Gaodyear campany had clone sa cansistently wel as Canada since it was estab- lished in 1910.
