What's made living more fun
THAN IT WAS SO YEARS AGO ?
Would you say Electricity? It's certainly done wonders toward increasing our earning power, shortening our working week, and removing drudgery through power equipment.
How about Engines— all kinds, steam and internal combustion? Before the engine took over, industry was pretty much confined to a water wheel on a river bank, and travel was at the mercy of wind and animal power. Engines let cities grow in a desert, and ribboned the nation with paved roads.
Or maybe the Typesetting Machine, which made books and magazines really amazingly lowpriced, has done as much as anything to better living conditions? It certainly helped spread
education, and gave the poor man his chance.
But this progress was possible only after steel was made plentiful and inexpensive. Only 80 years ago people knew steel mainly as needles and knives. But the average consumption of steel has jumped in 80 years from virtually nothing to 1400 pounds of steel every year for every man, woman, child, and newborn infant in this country. And with every additional pound, up goes our standard of living.
If living is to continue to be more and more fun, America must build more and more steel capacity. In the last year, Republic Steel increased its capacity 785,000 tons and plans to increase its total capacity to 12,242,000 tons by the end of this year.

WORLD'S WIDEST RANGE OF STANDARD STEELS AND STEEL PRODUCTS
MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE YARD, the family has fun cooking up more hamburgers. Much of today's outdoor living centers around the steel charcoal burner, made easily portable and long-lasting with its drawn steel bowl, stainless steel wire grille and tubular steel legs. All are products of Republic Steel. Republic's Steel and Tubes Division pioneered the electric resistance welded method of forming tubing from flat-rolled steel. Pound for pound, tubular construction is strongest.
