Partial History Found on the Web:
The second Akron rubber company had its inception in 1892 when Jacob Pfeiffer, John Grether and John Lamparter, who operated a retail drug store, pooled their savings and entered the rubber business. In a comparatively short time they had lost nearly $50,000 but undaunted started over again, borrowing money to build a 20 x 50 factory. Their combined resources, of $250, they used to buy their first case of rubber. The company started making rubber gloves and grew rapidly. William F. Pfeiffer, Jacob Pfeiffer's brother, and Harvey Miller joined the three on May 1, 1898 and the business was incorporated for $50,000 under the name of the Miller Rubber Manufacturing Company. In 1906 it was reincorporated as the Miller Rubber Company, entering the tire manufacturing business several years later.
Miller was purchased by Goodrich in 1930.
Miller also produced Tubes, Accessories and Repair Materials, Drug Sundries, Bathing Wear, Shuglovs, Rubber Balls and Toys, and Moulded Rubber Goods
