Chapman donates tillotson gloves to first responders

Bob Chapman of Chapman Scrap Metal & Recycling (third from left) donated 10,000 rubber gloves made at Tillotson Rubber to State Police Troop F for first responders. Accepting the donation Monday were State Police Trooper Garrett Rella, Trooper Neil Chapdelaine, and Sergeant Michael Cote.

When the Balsams Hotel closed in Dixville Notch eight years ago, local businessman Bob Chapman purchased the last two pallets of rubber gloves that were left from the old Tillotson rubber plant. Since then the supply of 50,000 gloves have been used in his shops by employees.

“We’ve been using the gloves around the shop but with what is going on with the virus I thought the first responders might have better use of them,” Chapman said.
