5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book on History of Akron and the Rubber Industry, October 23, 2003
By 
As a native of Akron, OH, I was very interested in reading this book and learning the history of the city which was known as the Rubber Capitol of the World.

This book is very well written and contains many beautiful sharp photos from the past.

The rubber industry has had an effect on everyone. Learn how it all started and how the the creator of modern rubber died pennyless. I very highly recommend this book!

This review is from: Wheels of Fortune: The Story of Rubber in Akron (Ohio History and Culture) (Paperback)
Excellent case study of how invention grew a city and the company-city relationship. Demonstrates

the importance of innovation and how industries die if they don't embrace change.

The effect on the Akron people is excellent.
