Synopsis
AKRON, the "Tire Town" of the whole world, was founded for the purpose of making money, and make money it did, creating at the same time a community of families and the necessary jobs to sustain them. The story of Akron is one of exhilarating achievement in industry and transportation. The excitement, the turbulence, the social and technological challenges, the prosperity-and sometimes bankruptcy-and today's constructive planning are related here on the eve of the one-hundred-fiftieth birthday of the city that has been called the "Tip To City," a "ghost town," and the "Rubber Capital of the World." Kenneth Nichols is a columnist for the Akron Beacon-Journal and a historian par excellence. His fascinating description of Akron's history is combined with over two hundred authentic historical photographs, and the whole results in a powerful story.
