HERE, at the end of the trail, young
industry has reared new monu
ment to the bold, enduring spirit with
which the Argonauts erased the last
frontier.
Though its workaday purpose is far from
the one they knew, the ambition that
visioned it shares their heritage of dar
ing, and in the very manner of its build
ing, something of their heroic mould and
character is caught.
Captive in the bricks and mortar of its
walls and towers you will find the imperial
legacy they left their sons courage,
whole-souled good will, and eagerness to
work
To this undaunted spirit, more than to
any outlay of gold and time involved,
this project pays its tribute in the record
of its completion
IT is less than a year today since Good
year decided to build hVLos Angeles a
factory which should be second only to
the parent plant at Akron in that span of
Goodyear factories, mills and plantations
which now girdles the globe. . u -
The first ground was broken ' just .eleven
months ago, adjoining the site of old
Ascot Park, scene of triumph for many a
speedway champion and challenger
The intervening nights and days have
seen, in planning, financing and build
ing, an exhibition of Western enterprise
paralleled only by those other feats of
energy which the West has given all the
world for marvel
What was visible a twelvemonth ago only
to the imagination, today is a reality of
tire manufactory, cotton mill, and work
ers' community, actually producing Good
year Tires for the motorists of the West.
THE twenty millions of dollars invest
ed in this achievement can not begin
to measure the value we set on this plant
as an expression of Western will, loyalty,
friendship and promise.
As yourselves, we see it as a milepost in the
onward march of the industrial West,
one of the strong, young pioneers of a
Western industry destined to great extent,
great wealth, and, that which holds the
most of Goodyear interest, great service.
This factory is dedicated to the progress
that men make in serving the needs of
one another.
To quicken communication, and thus to
enrich life and deepen understanding;
to set an example of industry and useful
ness; to advance sound principles of hon
est dealing these are the purpose, the
method and the product by which it
shall protect our good name.
