HARVEY S. FIRESTONE
1 larvey S. Firestone, prosidunt
of the Firestone Tire & Rubber
company, strikes a noto of sound
optimism over the outlook for the
tire Industry in ' 1931. ' He says:
"The tire industry ' has been
greatly dislurhod hy the heavy
declines In the prices of its two
most important, raw materials
rubber and cotton. This has
brought ubout a good deal of dis
organization ' and an unusual
amount of financial trouble among
the smaller and less well financed
concerns. Some of them have
the new y ea rs and I think that
on the whole tho tire industry
goes into 1931 in a basically much
healthier condition than that In
which It entered 1929, for it was
then that the troubles of 1930 had
their birth.
"Tho losses taken on raw ma
terials have been as drastic as in
1931. Crude rubber dropped the
same percentage In 1930 as it did
in 1921 72 per cent. We inven
toried our stocks in 1929 with
rubber at 20 cents. This year
wo had to Inventory at something
less than 10 cents. In cotton the
percentage drop was not so groat,
but it was a big percentage. Hut
notwithstanding all theso troubles
with raw materials we have made j
I enormous technical progress. What I
j you pay ono dollar for today, you '
had to pay about $10.00 for in;
I !1 3, In tires and service. In
1913, or thereabouts; a man made
about 10 tires in 10 hours. To
day he will mako 10 tiros in ono
hour.
"The durability of the tires gave
tho public an opportunity during
1930 really to try to wear them
out. Tho tiro industry sold 70.
OOO.ooo tires in 1929 and probably
sold only 55,000,000 in 1930. Tho
gasoline consumption of 1930 was
larger than In 1929, which means
that automobiles travelled more
miles .and consumed more tiro
mileage in 1930 than they did in
1929. Hut tho car owners used
their spare tires nnd lso they
ropnlred their tires they made
them do. There- is no question
in Jiiy mind that in. 1931 these
consumers- must come Into the
market not only for' their normal
tiro requirements but also they
will need to buy new spares. Thus,
I bollove that tho tiro Industry will
have a very largo business In
1931."
