Alteration

A note in the tire trade publication India Rubber World, stated in 1922 that the Samson Tyre and Rubber Company's additions to its Compton manufacturing plant were nearby done: "The Samson Tire & Rubber Co., 410 West Pico street, Los Angeles, recently received its first direct shipment of crude rubber from Singapore, the cargo being delivered at Los Angeles harbor, instead of San Francisco, as heretofore. The large additions to the company's plant at Compton are nearly finished, and by degrees operations are being extended in the new structures to meet a heavy demand for large cords. President Adolf Schleicher has been in the Northwest for several weeks conferring with managers of Samson agencies." (See "The Rubber Trade on the Pacific Coast," India Rubber World, vol. 66, no. 3, 06/01/1922, p. 634.)
