Jeanette, PA - Pennsylvania Rubber Co,: Jeannette is a city in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States. Jeannette was founded in 1888. The city got its name from one of the original city fathers, who wished to honor his wife, Jeannette McLaughlin, by giving the new town her first name: Jeannette. The city celebrated its 125th anniversary in July 2013. The population was 9,654 according to the 2010 census. The Pennsylvania Rubber Works moved to Jeannette, Pa. from Erie, Pa. around 1903. They became yet another key part of the city\'s significant industrial base. Not only did this factory become a significant supplier of play balls (basketballs, footballs, tennis balls, etc.) and carpet underlay as part of General Tire in its later years; but the original Pennsylvania Rubber Works provided products for Jeeps and gas masks during World War II. They were purchased by General Tire Co. in 1945. This Linen Era (1930-45) postcard is in good condition. \"C.T. American Art.\" No. 104548-N. Minsky Brothers. Pittsburgh, Pa. No. J-80.
