The national treasure fs sharing

This is still true and now steel is
on the throne. The steel bcJm has
gcue l.if beyond 'he scope of war
contract! It is spreading over the
i" intry .1: d in'o all of the fields
» uh ev-Y contribute to the fore
itio t in- t:il industry of the United
State- and the world.
T1 e demands for structural steel
are i nrrtnous—the result of great
act vity in building and in heavy
fi iisiri: "ion work on railroads and
iu other like fields. The largest
orders are those which are the di
rect fruit of industrial and commer
cial prosperity. They are based
upou the widening demand for mer
chandise- of many kinds and the
uced ol increased facilities for the
supply and distribution of a multi
tude of products of American skill
and enterprise.
It is for this TeasoiV that the state
cf the steel trade is so important to
the country. It is uvidence of the
general and rapid expansion of
business and of the rapid accumu
lation or wealth and working cap
ital in the United States. The war
has played an important part iu
th-j revival of trado and industry
! but if has gone far beyond war ln
