Goodrich's President

B. F. Goodrich Co.'s President Bertram G. Work died in Europe the first week of September, after 20 even years of leadership. Last week the directors chose his successor--Harry Hough, who has been with the company but a few years. Mr. Work's great contribution to the company affairs was in finance. New President Hough was long a banker in Akron, Ohio, factory site of Goodrich;* then he became Goodrich's comptroller.

For new chairman of the directorate, the directors picked Daniel M. Goodrich, son of Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich, founder of the corporation. A new vice president is James D. Tew, son of Dr. Goodrich's early associate when B. F. Goodrich Co. was called Goodrich & Tew. The company makes a greater variety of products from rubber than does any other concern.
