text_original: CHAPTER 2 CHARLES GOODYEAR In 1800 Brazil was the only country manufacturing rubber articles, and her best market soon proved to be North America. Probably the first rubber this country saw was brought to New England in clipper ships as ballast in the form of crude lumps and balls. Rubber shoes, water bottles, powder flasks, and tobacco pouches found buyers in the American ports, but rubber shoes were most in demand.
