Blimps photograph   Save
Airships of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company [graphic], [ca. 1910-ca. 1960].
Description: This photograph shows six blimps in the air flying above a semi-rural area or a small town. All but one of the blimps bear the name "Goodyear"; the sixth blimp (far left in the group) has the name "Bird & Son Inc./Roofs - Rugs." The blimps appear to be of different sizes. Writing in white ink appears on the lower right corner: " K-1-912-11-6-30." Bird & Son, Inc. was established in 1795 in East Walpole, Massachusetts. During the 1880s it produced the first felt-based asphalt roofing product manufactured in the U.S. It also manufactured floor coverings. View on Ohio Memory.
