...Goodrich Co.'s President Bertram G. Work died in Europe the first week of September, after 20 even years of leadership. Last week the directors chose his successor-Harry Hough, who has been with the company but a few years. Mr. Work's great contribution to the company affairs was in finance.

But smaller rubber companies could be bought up, notably...
