3- Assuming the presidential duties and carrying them out so ably was, we know, not accomplished without personal sacrifice. While there may be two Goodyear Rubber Companies, only one of them is so heavily dependent upon its President for its success. It's greatly to your credit that you as the principal stockholder were willing to lend you, the President, to this important civic undertaking. Those of us who were fortunate enough to serve with you on the Board wish to express our sincere thanks to you for your leadership and your friendship. Characteristic of the ingenuity and originality of your Committee, we have selected as a gift for you a silver cigarette box engraved with the names of your fellow directors. It is given to you with the heartfelt good wishes of all of us for a job well done.
