The Iron Age 1930-01-02: Vol 125 Iss 1

Seventy-fifth Year May JANUARY 2, 1930 hey Mo ty 2 a 1 ny Turning Losses Into Gains @.At the opening of 1930, two months after the worst of the stock market panic, American business’ knows that what at first seemed all calamitous. has - ’ great offsetting gains. @ Chief of these is that the most unhealthy boom the country ever knew has come to an end. Its nemesis, unlike other panics, did not kill prosperity but insured it a new lease of life. ¢ Under the spell of the new era-idea men-could not see, as they now see with clear eye, that the 1929 stock market advances and such “prosperity” as they produced had more mob psychology in them than sane economics, We now- see, too, that most of the old standards of values are still worth keeping. @ It is gain beyond calculation that business has seen and met its responsi- bility for the public welfare. Stocks had scarcely stopped crashing when the combined enginery of all industries was at work on plans for, not less—as after every other panic—but greater activity. @ All praise for the vision and initiative of the President. No such driving power had ever been applied by one man to the wheels of American business. @ From giving far too much thought to getting on by stock speculation, millions: of our people have now a new respect for the old-time way of working and saving and buying for investment, That lesson may turn out to be worth all it cost, even at an October-November shrinkage in stock market values greater than our entire World War expenditures.and loans abroad. @_Every other business recession has been.marked by division, distrust and counsel of defeat; dominating the situation today are cooperation, courage and confidence. If the lessons of 1929 are rightly applied that combination will go far toward bringing in a new and sounder prosperity for all industry. ‘ nk rs _— +. - yaw A Dependable Source for all Steel Products An organization built up through more than three-quarters of a century of busi- ness * * « * Providing nation-wide ser- vice from nine strategically located plants « « « « With more than 175,000 tons of steel and allied products on hand for immediate shipment * ¢ * ¢ Building Products anes Steel Plastering Channels Corner Bead Base Screed Picture Mold Other Special Lines Strip Steel Bolts and Nuts Welding Rods Floor Piates Boiler Tubes and Fittings You can call on Ryerson for any shape, Steel Grating ° ° e Stair Treads size or kind of steel with full assurance Tag Protectors . o.e Turnbuckles that there will be no waiting or delay.

While the application of roller bearings to travel- ing cranes was not new, Milwaukee Crane Engineers were the first to apply them throughout... from motors to bottom block. Their effort was not extended to a mere adap- tation of existing design, but was directed toward an entirely new conception of the traveling erane, embodying roller bearings as an integral part of its structure. Industry has enthusiastically accepted their work as Mitwaukee Roller Bearing Cranes are now standard with many manufacturers. By this development and perfection of roller bearing cranes the Milwaukee Electric Crane and Hoist Corporation feels that it has made a noteworthy contribution to modern crane construction — a contribution made possible by many years of experience in the design- ing and building of hoisting machinery for shops, foundries, mills and other industrial establishments. ~S ” M ILWAUKEE’S - Contributions January 2, 1930 THE IRON AGE 9 e TF 2.2 3 - g a2 * * - . 4 at , - , i 5 5 ag SN 44 5 2 +H ~% ex hee} ey .

For nearly forty years these cranes have been more widely used than any other make. The reason for this is not price—for the P & H is not the lowest priced crane. P & H Cranes are built and sold on a quality basis —quality that means dependable, steady per- formance year in and year out. Dependable performance in continuous service means a steadier production flow —less tie-ups, and consequently quicker turnover of capital. These things mean more than the initial difference in cost between a cheap crane anda P&H. Read “The Story of P & H Crane Con- struction” and learn how reliability is made an inbuilt feature.

Through- out the entire Youngstown organization every customer, no matter how large or how small, is regarded not merely as a name on a ledger but as an individual to be served; every order is looked upon as a definite personal obligation, not just as a matter of routine. The spirit of service which leaves nothing undone to advance a customer’s interest has become a tradition with Youngstown, and hand in hand with it goes the Youngstown tradition of top quality. This combination assures every Youngstown customer of receiving the utmost value for his money, plus that extra effort in the emergency—that careful regard for details which has been no small factor in holding old friends and winning new ones. This service to the trade is not entirely altruistic—it is simply a sound business principle. As our customers prosper, we also prosper, so in promoting their interests we are also promoting our Own success. . January 2, 1930 TRADITION ENTERS ITS OTH YEAR..... THE IRON AGE At this season of the year we wish to express to both old friends and new, our sincere ap- preciation of their business in the past. As we enter 1930—the twenty-ninth year of Youngstown service to American industry— may we express the hope that it will be pros- perous for all, and may we continue to serve our friends in the trade as in the years gone by.
