Historical Context
The New York Rubber Company was organized in 1848, to manufacture articles under the Goodyear patent. They began operations on Staten Island, and in 1857 moved to Beacon, New York (to the former Tioranda Cotton Mill.) The company produced the country's first rubber balls, toys and dolls.
During World War II, the company manufactured life rafts for the war effort. Local legend claims that when fighter pilot George H. W. Bush was shot down over the ocean, it was a New York Rubber Company life raft that saved his life.
