as n great manufacturer of guns. lie
was the grandson Of Friedrich Krupp.
the founder of nm industrial kingdom. =
The worlds greatest purveyor of the
tools of war he was ut the same time,
10y the very immensely of his operations,
one of the greatest promoters of peace.
Friedrich Alfred Krupp succeeded his
father, the great Krupp, in the control
of the great establishment at Essen four
teen years ago. On his pay rolls there
are more than $1,000 men employed IN
making cannon and other munitions of
war. Thirty-four governments have
made purchases there, and more than 3D.
600 guns of various sizes are frowning
ON mankind as the result Of his opera
tions. This grandson of Friedrich krupp
had on the day of his death an annual
income of 20,000.000 marks-4,5 900
more than the German Emperor--and
there wasn't king in all the world that
had so many people directly depending
upon him for their livelihood.
The krupp fortunes did not come cas-
lily. For twenty years after the foundry
was started there was work enough for
only nine men, and sometimes not enough
to pay them. Friedrich Krupp's father.
who was the first real head of the gun
works, had TO melt down the family sill
yer TO pay wages. Having sold his pat
ent ON II new process for manufacturing
silver spoons and silver-plated spoons in
England, he devoted the money to tests
along the line of creating n Bessem n
steel of his own invention. All the world
knows that his experiments were even
tually crowned with the most eXtraOrdi-
nary success. but at the start his pro-
gress was iscouragiugly slow. He pluck
lily weatherad the hard times of the rev
olution of iS4S. though many Of his
workmen learned more and lived better
than |" All his efforts were in one di-
rection-the making of steel guns by Bees
semer process. The day of Sedan. when
1900 Krupp guns battered down one en-
pire to create another, settled the case
once and for all time in favor of krupp.
