If demand is to be met, plans to expand must be put into effect now." Firestone did more than talk, he backed it with cash. His company announced plans for a $5,300,000 tire factory and a plantation in the Philippines which, starting in 1957, will roll out 100,000 tires a year at capacity and go a long way toward making the bustling young republic self-sufficient in rubber...
