Description

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was founded in 1898 on a seven-acre site in Akron, Ohio with original investment of $13,500 and 13 full-time employees. First-month sales totaled $8,246.72 and includes bicycle and carriage tires, horseshoe pads and rubber bands. Eighteen years later, Goodyear was the largest tire company in the world. In 1982, its sales were almost $9,000,000,000, employees numbered nearly 132,000, and it operated 101 manufacturing facilities in 28 countries. This is the story of how Goodyear grew, and why, with 'The Goodyear Story' being a history of a well-known American enterprise. It moves through two World Wars, recessions, the Great Depression, its heartbreak years, the Korean War, flourishing international trade, the birth of the Space Age, war in Vietnam with its attendant protests and upheaval, and oil crisis, and inflationary years of the 1970s. It's also the story of people. Over 150 color/black & white photographs which evokes the events brought alive by O'Reilly's narrative.
