Alderman Graham and the Steel Mills.
Everybody is familiar with the steel mill plant
that grew into great importance a few years
since in West Superior, employing at one time
coo men in the manufacture of steel plates for
boats, bar iron, water pipes, etc. Then when all
was in the high tide of prosperity and dozens OF
the young mechanics in the factory getting ready
to be married to many charming girls who
were looking forward to happy homes OF their
= own. seven Superior banks went up and the
glad anticipations OF the people who had hoped
so much for thisl mandatory turned to
sadness. 1t makes SO mad when see whole
rows OF stores boarded up in this fine city-the
result OF u cursed banking system-that can
hardly keep down to work and write up these
business firms. Ard it makes madden yet to
think that the people have no idea that the
banks are at the bottom OF the whole trouble
Well. as were going to say one portion OF the
mill, at present in charge OF Alderman Fred A.
Graham, is starting up and turning out large
culvert pipe for the Of railroads, their ship
! ments now reaching about q tons daily.

how quickly bread is baked with such little fuel
but the statesmen here will manipulate the
hampers and tell you all about it, .,-
