American Drive to Build Rubber Empire in Liberia
A report on Firestone and American engineers expanding rubber plantations in Liberia describes two large farms near Monrovia and Cape Palmas, modernizing life with power, stores, hospitals, and schools. The effort aims to yield 1,000,000 acres of rubber, integrate transport networks, and introduce American commerce, medicine, and hygiene to the Liberian capital and hinterlands.
