Think of our industrial structure as a living thing, the skeleton of which is composed of metal and cement, the arterial system of which carries a life stream of oil, and the flexing muscles and sinews of which are of rubber.
-Paul Litchfield, Former President of Goodyear
What people did to rubber was interesting, but more interesting still was what rubber did to people.
-Vicki Baum, Novelist
