114 APPENDIX V. Leapine Canapian RuBBER MANUFACTURING COMPANIES. Canadian Goodrich Company, Limited, Kitchener, Ontario. This company was originally incorporated in 1919 as the Ames Holden Tire Company, Limited. A new factory was erected and modern machinery installed at a reported cost of approximately £260,000. The Company was reorganised in January, 1923, as the Ames Holden Tire and Rubber Com- pany, Limited, at which time The B.F. Goodrich Company of Akron, Ohio, U.S.A., acquired a minority interest. Early in 1925, the Goodrich Company obtained a controlling interest in the stock and the Company’s name was changed to Canadian Goodrich Company, Limited. Additions have been made to the factory since it was constructed, and late in 1928 additional construction work was started. The machinery and plant is up-to-date. The Company manufactures tyres, including the ‘‘ Silvertown Cord ’’; and the ‘ Hi-Press’ line of footwear, including Goodrich ‘¢ Zippers.” These producis are well known throughout the United States and Canada, and in the latter country enjoy the advantage of the large amount of advertising done by the United States Company in American publications. The Company maintains branches or warehouses in Halifax and Sydney, Nova Scotia; St. John; Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Windsor, Port Arthur, Fort William, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
