Akron-based Goodyear is one of the most globalized American companies. After all, it costs a lot to ship tires around the world, so setting up tire manufacturing where ever cars and trucks are made makes sense. Decades ago, the company was so proud of its global footprint that it set up a visitor center at its Akron headquarters complete with scale models of all its factories worldwide. There was even a full-time model expert who worked to maintain and create the sets. He's now retired, and the company is moving and no one knows what to do with the miniature models, a relic of a time past when being global was something special to crow about.Goodyear Tires of Its Miniature Factories - WSJ.com
