100000 PLANT
WILL Be ERECTED
STEEL CORPORATION TO SPEND
VAST SUM ON WORKS LIKE
THOSE AT GARY, IND.
MEANS ADDED POPULATION
Other Industries Will Follow and City
Will Grow From Large Number of
EmpIoyes-OIver Is Center of Ac-
tivities.

Superior United States Steel
corporation is going to spend about
$50, 100000 on a new steel plant at the
head of the great lakes. The first unit
of this great plant will be completed
within the next year. 1t will employ
from 5000 to 5000 men from the start.
When the plant is completed it will
employ about 10000 men. This means
an additional population of $4,000 for
Wisconsin. The steel corporation has
over $7O0,000,000 invested in mines
and other property within 100 miles
of this new plant.
By the time the steel plant is in op-
GRAFTON other industries that will fol-
low will employ as many we'll paid
men as the steel plant That was the
experience at Gary, Ind, and steel men
and manufacturers say it will be re-
peated.
The water power from the ST. Louis
river near this plant is second only to
Niagara and with the new electric
process recently invented, steel can
be manufactured here at 20 per cent
less cost than at any other point in
the country. This means that the
steel corporation will probably keep
on en1arging it's plant instead of build
ing new plants elsewhere. This will
make great steel center at the head
OF the great lakes. Oliver is the GEN.
ter of these activities and the logical
business site of this new city.
Oliver is located with regards to the
plant, just as Gary and Pittsburg are:
across the bridge. The steel corpora
ton has invested $4,000 on this bridge
alone.
Plants that will probably follow the
steel plant are the American Bridge
coHpany, American Steel and Wire
company, the Standard Car company,
and the American Locomotive COM
pany. These are the industries that
the steel plant brings; each of them
employing hundreds and in some cases
thousands of men.
The Universal Portland Cement
company has started work on
$1,OOO,O00 plant to employ 500 men,
another $500 population for the state.
This indicates a heavy development at
the head of the great lakes and a new
metropolis in upper Wisconsin.
