Watch dog had weakness
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (UPI) — Financier John
G. Bachan has learned the hard way his fierce-looking
Doberman pinscher watch dog can be bought. He’s a
sucker for ham and cheese.
When Bachan and his wife got home from an evening
out Tuesday they found their dog peacefully licking his
chops. Missing was SBO,OOO worth of valuables, mostly
jewelry.
Police said while the Bachans were gone, a burglar
entered through a sliding glass door and raided the
refrigerator of ham and cheese. After luring the dog into
the bathroom with the goodies, the bandit then
systematically looted the house.
Most of the jewelry came from a metal cabinet he
pried open. Costume jewelry was left behind.
The burglar used a pillowcase from the Bachans’
bedroom to carry away his loot, leaving the contented dog
behind munching on his snack.

or she may be employed and sent to lowa for training.
Except for top management and a few highly skilled
personnel, most of the employes will be Griffin area resi
dents.
Edwards commented that a major problem with the
company is having enough well qualified people for the
top jobs. The company has such tremendous growth, he
explained, it’s hard to train people fast enough. He hopes
some Griffin personnel can train for management posi
tions.
The company was formed in late 1956.
It has grown so rapidly that last year Fortune Magazine
voted Bandag the number one growth company in the U.S.
It is listed in the top 1,000 industries in Fortune.
Listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Bandag has
completed its 36th quarter of record sales and earnings.
Its earnings of $75-million for the first six months of this
year are up more than 24 percent over a year ago.
The company was founded by a wealthy lowan, Roy
Carver, who was traveling in Germany after World War II
and heard of a revolutionary new “cold” process for
recapping tires.
Knowing very little about rubber, Mr. Carver talked
with the inventor, Bernard A. Nowack, a German general
who had fought with Rommel in North Africa.
He developed the new method to use on German equip
ment and found it could withstand twice the wear of
conventional recaps.
Carver purchased the U. S. rights to the process, and
later the world rights. He formed the company, and
named it Bandag, from the initials of the inventer, the d
for Damstadt, a German town, and ag which translates to
Inc. in English.
A story, said to be true, is that Carver met with financial
problems shortly after trying to improve the process. He
went to 10 of his franchised dealers and asked them to lend
him $7,500 each for a fresh start.
He promised them he would repay the money in either
of three ways. They could take it in retread rubber, take
the principal plus 10 percent interest or take $7,500 in
stock.
Os the 10 dealers, only three chose the stock. Two of
them sold it as soon as it began to double on the stock
market. The third man was the only one to keep his stock
which is worth millions today.
Carver, 65, serves as chairman of the board, but takes
little active part in the business. He spends most of his
time traveling.
In chosing Griffin, Edwards said the company engaged
a professional firm to find a suitable location. The firm
was given a list of 750 criteria to follow.
They came up with 33 locations in Alabama and Georgia
which were narrowed to Griffin, LaGrange, Newnan and
Macon.
Bandag officials visited each city.
Four came to Griffin and met with Chamber officials
and leaders in other industries. They also talked with
school Supt. Ben Christie, and discussed the local schools.
They asked for a copy of the curriculum. They studied
stability of the local government, the police and fire
departments, crime rate, unemployment status,
community growth and medical facilities. Edwards said

they even evaluated why people leave the community.
There were some points, Edwards said, where Griffin
did not rate too well. But on the whole, Griffin passed with
flying colors, he said.
Griffin almost missed out by not having a site. If it had
not been for the cooperation of the city and county
commissioners, Chamber officials and hard plugging of
Charles and John Neel, franchised owners of Mid-Ga.
Bandag, the industry may have been lost.
If the Neels are a sample of other dealers, it’s easy to
see how the company has succeeded.
They think Bandag is “fantastic”.
In 1970, they purchased Ike Hill’s Tire Co. and started
out with three employes recapping four tires a day. '
The business here has grown to 22 employet wijh 55
recaps daily. They have expanded to Macon whehe a
branch there has 12 employes and turns out 35 remaps each
day.
“Bandag will be a great part of the community. We are
tickled to death to have them here,” Charles Neel
quipped.
Bandag is happy about Griffin, too.
“It has the atmosphere and people we’d like to associate
with. We’ll do everything within our power for you to say
we’re the type of industry you want here,” Edwards
promised.
