History buffs will enjoy these three articles revealing the lived history of the Gates Rubber Company.

The first is from 1951, and is a company showcase of its "40 Years Of Progress."

The second article, from 1981, was written by Joan McCarthy at the Washington Park Profile, giving a short overview of company developments.

The third (and shortest) is from 1995, detailing the decisive efforts of the company during World War II and their commitment to historic preservation thereafter.
