GARY VS.. PITTsBURG.

1t is but natural that the Pittsburg
should display such a
jealous attitude toward the Gary
Calumet iron and steel belt
The Gary-Calumet district, which
included the steel works at Gary, In
diana Harbor, Joliet, and South Chi
cago, has 80 blast furnaces as
against Pittsburg's 40. During the
past few years there has been built
IL new blast furnaces in the local
district.
During November Pittsburg pro-
duced 567,6S3 tons of pig iron and
the Gary-Calumet district 398,678
tons, which is a pretty close second.
The total production in the country
for the month was 2,63O,S54 tons,
so it is quite natural that the old
Pittsburg district should view with
discern the fact that the new district
is producing nearly one-sixth of all
the pig iron made In the country.
OF the 40 blast furnaces in the
Pittsburg district on December l but
40 were in operation, producing
1850 tons Of pig iron daily. Every
one of the 3p blast furnaces in the
local district were and are now ir
operation producing 13,4S0 ton.
daily. This is a difference of bu1
2,270 tons between Gary and Pitts
burg.

NEWSPAPERS ARE BEST.

The shortest and most direct
route to the attention of all the

the newspaper. for it is daily read
by business men. professional men,
mechanics, artisans - all alike.
Men and women, too, want their
favorite newspaper the very min
ute it comes off the press. for they
crave the news served up red hot.
They also buy it to read the ad-
