1968 Year to Date Variable Costs
Found in situ was this abandoned summary pie chart from 1968 showing the costs for the year. Clearly, materials and labor makes up the bulk of costs, but is that really the full story?
The Fisk Tire Company was founded in 1898 and headquartered in Chicopee Falls Massachusetts at this now-abandoned office building. The largest and earliest manufacturer of automobile tires by the 1920s, there were Fisk Retail Stores in 40 states; and the Chicopee plant turned out 5,000 tires a day. The Great Depression hit Fisk hard, and its 121 retail tire stores had dwindled to three by 1934. When Fisk transformed into Uniroyal, the Chicopee plant remained its flagship U.S. factory until its closure in 1981. This office building adjoining the office is seven storeys and filled with ornate banisters and entryways, an entire employee cafeteria, and a leather lined executive meeting room.
