Re: Rubber and Minneapolis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Carver
He subsequently attended a series of schools before earning his diploma at Minneapolis High School in Minneapolis, Kansas.
George Washington Carver reputedly discovered three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Among the listed items that he suggested to southern farmers to help them economically were adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain.
Is that anywhere near close to being the answer?
