WANTED: 7 MILLION MORE TONS OF "JUNK" Part of the diet of a steel mill is scrap iron and steel . . . 52 million tons last year. But new mills are being built (and output of existing mills increased) faster than scrap supplies come in. Can you help us find more scrap ? LOOK IN THE INDUSTRIAL ATTIC FIRST: If you work in a factory or shop, look around for old machines, suggest other ways your company can make money by selling more scrap to local dealers. WHAT BECOMES OF THE HOLE? In a steel mill, every bit of scrap is collected and re-used. This man is flamecutting armor plate. The steel he cuts out will be re-cycled to the furnace. You can help increase the steel supply if you sell an old tractor, or a plow, or a jalopy, to your nearest scrap dealer. One of the most interesting examples of American-capitalism at work is the scrap dealer to whom you will sell your old iron and steel. Read the interesting story of how he feeds the steel mills, at a profit. Write for the reprint from STEEL WAYS magazine, "Meet a New Aristocrat — the Junk Man".
