  Charles Goodyear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Goodyear (December 29, 1800 - July 1, 1860) is popularly renown as the inventor of vulcanized rubber.
Charles Goodyear, Jr., his son, invented the machinery used for the welt stitching process used in the manufacture of Goodyear Welt shoes.
Now that Goodyear was sure that he had the key to the intricate puzzle that he had worked over for so many years, he began at once to tell his friends about it and to try to secure capital, but they had listened to their sorrow so many times that his efforts were futile.
