Description
Although Goodyear's eleven scrapbooks bear inclusive dates, few of the
individual clippings are dated. Evident are clippings from the Stockton Daily
Evening Record, Stockton Record, San Francisco Call Bulletin, and the San
Francisco Examiner. Clippings report on military actions in Europe and the
Pacific. Most of the scrapbooks have approximately 40 pages.
Background

from Stockton and San Francisco newspapers. Charles Goodyear was employed as an
inventor in the creative department of Fiberboard Products, Inc. in Stockton
for the last fifteen years of his life.
