Restrictions on Rubber Use Hit O'Sullivan Plant
The O'Sullivan Rubber Company will lay off about 16 percent of its 450 workers due to civilian use restrictions. Starting April 1 the plant may use only 50 to 60 percent of the rubber from the last quarter of 1941, shifting production to black heels soles and strips while the heel and sole sector gets first claim on reclaimed rubber. Company officials say crude rubber will still meet other orders and hope to sustain operations on current output.
