In 1899 Canadian capitalists purchased from fhe Dunlop Company of 
Great Britain, all its inierest in the American Dunlop Tire Company, and 
on 1st March of that year a new Canadian Company was formed—the 
present Dunlop Tire and Rubber Goods Company. 
In 1917 the control, which lay in the common stock of the Company was 
acquired by The Tyre Investment Trust, of London, England, which it was 
expected would consolidate all the Dunlop Rubber Companies of the world. 
This amalgamation, however, was not accomplished at that time. 
The present development is thal the Dunlop Rubber Company, of Great 
Britain, has secured control of the Tyre Investment Trust, and by so doing, 
has secured a majority interest in the common stock of the Canadian Com- 
pany, as well as complete control of the Dunlop (Far East) Company (Japan). 
With the acquisition of these two companies, and a controlling interest in 
the Australian Dunlop Company, which was negotiated last year, the 
Dunlop Rubber Company, of Great Britain, now has an organisation, con- 
trolling all ‘ Dunlop ’ products, which covers the entire globe, with a 
capital of approximately £40,000,000. 
The Canadian Dunlop Company is affected to the extent that it has now 
the active co-operation of the Brilish Company and of each of its sub- 
sidiaries throughout the world, whereas formerly it was assisted only through 
an interchange of formulae and factory practice.
