sight into the wide and diversified market use of the raw materials that are usually seen in 100 lb. cartons, 50 lb. bags or 55 gal. drums loaded on pallets ready to be shipped to all parts of the country and the world.
Few employees realized— prior to the tour—that the Naugatuck plant is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of rubber chemicals and that virtually every tire on the highway contains one of the chemicals manufactured in the plant.
Picnic at Lake Quassapaug
The picnic was held at Lake Quassapaug from 1 P.M. to 5 P.M. where a menu of steaks, hamburgers, clams, sausages, salads, draught beer were served for the entire period. Husbands and wives had the chance to “get even” in egg-throwing contests and in most games the women turned out to be the winners of the gift certificates to a local store.
Committee Worked Hard
Without the enthusiasm and effort of the Committee which organized the event in a short period of time, the tour-picnic would not have been such a great day.
Serving on it were L. Coscia, J. Gulak, C. Houseknecht, E. Johnson, R. Breton, R. Lak, J. Labrecque, F. Maffia, A. Malone, H. Mullen, R. McDermott, J. Prior, S. Mazur, H. Scullin, R. Shipman, R. Shortt, R. VanAllen, and W. Lavelle, Chairman.
