Ford tire plant to cut rubber need by half
The Ford Motor Company estimates that after the Dearborn tire plant opens it will produce about half of the firm’s annual rubber requirements, with Goodrich Goodyear and Firestone currently supplying the remainder. Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands will inaugurate the Nieuw Amsterdam, a Holland-America liner costing 12 million dollars and boasting the largest air conditioning equipment afloat. Former Vice President Dawes warned that property markets may peak this year and next, with stocks likely to fall soon. General Motors’ 1936 final report shows the year as the third best in its history.
