...automobile tires butadiene rubber has about three times the endurance of natural rubber. Therefore, at 20? a pound, it would be much cheaper, on a tire mileage basis than the 14? a pound at which natural para rubber is currently quoted. Dr. Egloff believes that U. S. commercial production of his butadiene rubber will get under way in less than a year...
When he was not flying the mail he was instructing students. He seemed never to tire of the air. On the ground he studied airplane and engine design, or poked around the flying field shops. He ate prodigiously (as he still does) and had a prodigious love for practical jokes (as he still does). For his practical jokes, which were often rough, occasionally cruel, he got many a rough return from other fliers, but was never discouraged...

...rubber industry rises and falls with automobile sales and the price of crude rubber. Two years ago most of the companies were sagging under heavy inventories; currently, the tire inventory position is the lowest in four years and revival of the automobile industry gives rubbermen reason to anticipate an excellent year. But though tire and tube sales are the industry's mainstay, providing 65% of total volume, the most significant fact about rubber today is its technological progress. At the threshold of its second 100 years, the industry is bubbling over with new ideas, new products...
