Best.-Nr. 24045601Malaya n.d. ca 1945-50 . A suite of 12 b.w. photographs 14 x 9 cm. each numbered 1-12 showing the manual rubber- making process very good. An interesting suite of real photographs. Each are numbered with English captions. While there is no place cited the Binh-Duong area was planted in rubber trees by the French in the mid-19th century. This suite likely comes from this area and shows the whole process done by manual methods and all by hand labor. Using machines that rolled the raw material by turning handles. The process begins: 1. Rubber tapping at dawn: it shows two workers using the knife to start the flow from the rubber tree. 2. Rubber tapping at dawn: shows two workers emptying the small trays of white latex into a buck- et right off the tree. 3. Sieving the latex: shows latex being poured into the larger collecting bucked trough a sieve. 4. dilution of latex: shows the Chinese numbered trays with latex being poured. 5. Addition of formic acid: shows the woman adding this to the trays to cause the latex to jell. 6. Mixing latex with acid and removing foam: shows the scouping of foam off into a tray. 7. The flattening of the coagulum with the palm: shows two women patting the large cake of latex down by hand. 8. Flattening the coagula- ted latex with a smooth roller: the woman feeds the latex sheet into a roller press while a man turns the wheel by hand. 9. Passing the rubber sheet throuogh a ribbed roller: she continues to run the sheet again and again until its large & thin. 10. Soaking the rubber sheet in a water tank: the large sheet is placed in a large tank of water. 11. Soa- ked sheets hung to dry on bamboo poles left is the smoke house: shows a man hanging the sheets like laundry. 12. She- ets hung in the smokehouse: like smoked fish the latex sheets hang on bamboo poles to cure. This hand-crafted latex method has long since been replaced by modern machinery. A rare insight to the effective but low-tech approach to a highly useful product and the method employed in South East Asia for many decades. At this small factory the entire pro- cess seems to be done by three Vietnamese workers 2 women & a man. They are dressed in shorts or light clothing the women wear the traditional Vietnamese "Baba" jacket all are working barefoot their bicycles parked near by while tele- phone or power poles are visible in the background however this factory runs on human labor without any electrical equipment whatsoever. There is a sheet-metal trough to col- lect rain-water into the washing and soaking bats as eviden- ce of a very rural and primitive setting with matching meth- odology. unknown

1959Best.-Nr. 56719Almanza Las Piñas Rizal The Philippines. 1959. A Vivid Example of American Economic Colonialism in the Mid-20th Century A unique and large format presentation typescript documenting the facilities services and employees of the Philippine branch of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in 1959 illustrated with almost 200 photographs produced for the twentieth anniversary of the tire plant's manager Richard T. Budd. The photographic scrapbook constitutes an extensive visual record of the facilities and operations of the Goodyear Tire factory in Las Piñas Rizal Philippines and provides an interesting peek into American foreign business practices in the mid-20th century. The album is highlighted by more than 100 large likely professional views of the factory exterior and interior following the tire-making process from raw material through to finished product with many of the images showing Filipino laborers at work. The album also contains a series of eight views of a January 1957 labor dispute. The images are accompanied by detailed typed captions explaining the tire-making process the strike and more. One such annotation reads: "On January 14 1957 the factory tasted its first strike when barrio residents set up a picket allegedly in protest of the alleged unfair hiring procedure of the company. Pickets gathered at the front of the gate while bus loads of employees wait outside for a chance to cross the picket line." The smaller photographs further depict the factory's employees and document health care facilities blood drives a free Christmas lunch company picnics and gatherings awards ceremonies and much more. Several pictures record Budd's contribution as a leader with the local Boy Scout Troop 60 comprised mostly of young Filipino boys. One page containing several photographs documents Goodyear management's donation to a local school; the caption reads: "Aware of its responsibility to the community Management goes to the much neglected barrio school and donates a swing and a slide for school children at play. This page contains the pictures of that donation." Additionally laid-in is a handmade folio greeting card commemorating Budd's twentieth anniversary of employment with a nicely hand-executed title cover featuring a photographic cut-out of a tire filling in the "0" of "20th" a large caricature of Budd in his scouting uniform and includes numerous ink inscriptions from fellow employees likely executives. There are also three additional loose folio sized cards bearing hundreds of ink signatures from the factory workers. Goodyear operated the plant at Las Piñas from 1956 until 2009 in close proximity to the island's robust rubber plantations. The album stands as important extensive and detailed primary source documentation of the international operations labor outsourcing and outreach efforts of an American auto-industry giant in the Asian Pacific during the last years of Eisenhower and immediately preceding U.S. involvement in Vietnam and serves as an important source for the "Americanizing" methods employed by U.S. companies after World War II when newly-opened markets allowed for American corporate expansion around the globe.
