Another discussion topic at w**k. How did Goodyear acquire it's name?
I personally have no fookin idea, that's why I started the topic, but my workmate says, that maybe they started out with no name, won a motorsport season & decided it was a "Good year" for the tyres?
Then there's Bridgestone? Where did that come from?
A crush

Shojiro Ishibashi (1889-1976)
Founder of Bridgestone Corporation
Everything. And Ishibashi kept this in mind when he came up with his company's name. At the time, British and American products were in high demand and he decided to capitalise on this international aspect. In fact, Bridgestone is a literal English translation of his last name “Ishibashi” which means “Stone Bridge”. He liked the sound of it better when he reversed the words to Bridge Stone.
