...Rockefeller, 30-year-old second son of John D. Jr. As treasurer of the Museum since 1937, Nelson raised the funds for the new building (on which only $200,000 of $2,000,000 remained last week unpaid). In picking him to succeed frosty-headed A. (for Anson) Conger Goodyear, hard-working president since 1929, the Board of Trustees well pleased the person who was not only a founder but a moving spirit of the Museum: Nelson's publicity-hating mother, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. That the presidency of the Museum is no longer-if it ever was-merely...
...they enjoyed, quietly deplored the fact that the art of living men received little or no institutional support in Manhattan. In the late spring of 1929 they and one or two other liberal ladies laid plans for a new museum. To head their organizing committee they chose A. Conger Goodyear, a solid, sensitive industrialist (lumber) with practical experience as a trustee of Buffalo's Albright Art Gallery.

Conger Goodyear, president of Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, the Fair would put on a big contemporary U. S. art show...
...East Market Street that has lasted ten years points to a lucrative field if crude rubber prices ever fall low enough to compete with concrete. Rubber is vulnerable to oil and sun, so scientists have developed rubbery synthetics like DuPrene which are not. Such new products as Goodyear's Pliofilm and Goodrich's Koroseal are beginning to threaten Cellophane as packaging material. From rubber conveyor belts (Grand Coulee Dam has one 10,000 ft. long), the industry expects to make millions. Other developments: acid-resisting tanks, sun-resisting paint...
