Z3 HEN the average American
housewife buys a can of
IN corn, peas or what not, she
gives her attention solely to
the contents, the can being hurled
into the garbage can without any
thought as to what becomes of it.
To her the can is just so much waste
and to be rid of quickly.
As matter of fact by her throw
ing away the can she is unwittingly
putting that can to It's first step of
rejuvenation to eventually return to
her in some other form. In New
York there is a beautiful home that
might we'll be called a Tin Can
House." not because it was construct
ed of cans, for it was not, but be-
cause its owner erected the structure
out of the proceeds of what he made
through tin cans discarded by house
wives
This man was the first to realize
that there was value in the tin cans
that were to be found in quantities
on the city dump. He was a poor
man and he began his trade in the
cans in a small way. First he took the
cans, cut off the ends. fattened out
the tin and used the pieces in the re-
pairing of roofs.
The easiest way to get the ends
off was to throw the cans into a fire
and melt them off. In so doing the
man discovered that there was con-
sidera BILE solder. This solder, he dis
covered was as valuable as the tin,
and it was not long before he had
many employees gathering the tin cans.
Then he built regular furnace. Later
he found that the whole can could
be melted and that. as iron, it was an
asset True the iron is not of a good
quality. but it has its uses. particu-
larry as sash weights, and thus grew
instantly the sashweight making in
dustry, a business that employs many
thousands of persons.
There are today but few large cit
les in which there are not sashweight /
foundries, and while much of their
material is junk iron a goodly por-
ton consists of the lowly and much |
despised tin cans.
Although everyone is familiar with
canned goods, for the cans with their
highly colored wrappers are to be seen
everywhere, few realize the extent of
the business of making these cans.
1t is estimated that the annual out
put of cans is two thousand million
which placed end to end, would cover
a distance of 100000 miles and would
girdle the earth four deep. What is
