There is no blackout at Firestone—every Firestone factory in America is working at top speed to provide the thousands of different rubber products needed for the defense of the Americas. Tires of all types, bullet-resisting tubes, bullet¬ sealing fuel and oil tanks, track blocks for tanks and reconnaissance cars, gas masks, seadrome lighting buoys and hundreds of other products made from natural or synthetic rubber for America’s armed forces are being turned out on or ahead of schedule. In addition, anti-aircraft gun mounts and carriages, machine gun links, bomb cases, shell guard facings and many other non-rubber munitions are now in production. And if our company is called upon for further help, it will be given cheerfully, quickly, efficiently and intelligently. Copyright. 1941.

  • Lou Gehrig the Last Time Lou Gehrig’S Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score
    A Schott From The Bleachers Lou Gehrig The Last Time Lou Gehrig’s Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score by Arthur O. Schott The following are excerpts from the Kansas City Times covering the game of Monday, June 12, 1939 – an exhibition contest at Kansas City. This was the last time Lou Gehrig’s name appeared in a baseball box score. “And all the Yankee notables performed at least for part of the game. The starting lineup found Joe DiMaggio playing in center, Bill Dickey behind the bat and Frank Crosetti at short. You even found the venerable Lou Gehrig, most popular of all the Yankees, at first base. “Lou played by popular demand. He hadn’t intended to play at all, but Lou is an obliging fellow and so he accommodated. After taking one turn at the bat in the second, when he grounded to Priddy, he retired in favor of Babe Dahlgren. But he had shown himself and the crowd roared to his name. “Vance pushed a hit past the slow-moving Gehrig and McCullough scored. “Lou Gehrig remained here and leaves this morning for the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., where the veteran intends to undergo a physical examination. “Gehrig made his first appearance in a game since he dropped out of the Yankee line-up May 2.
