have sufficient business to support it.
The founder of the line. Friedrich,
who was born at Essen, endeavored to
make cast steel, the secret Of which
was carefully guarded In England. And
in 1910 he founded a small forging
plant near Essen for the production Of
cast steel after a process he had
evolved. Mint dies. stamps for but
tons. ETC.. were manufactured. but. 10
small was the demand. the works could
not be kept in operation. And. soon
after 1920. Krupp was obliged to give
up his house to occupy . small one
story laborer's cottage near his plant.
The hut is still preserved in the midst
of the present gigantic establishment.
Shortly before his death, however.

The social work of the Krupps at
their foundries and factories, among
their work people, dates back to 1861.
At that time. finding there were not In
Essen sufficient houses for their en-
ployes, the Krupps began building
dwellings. Now some four hundred

was not possible for American pioneers
TO use the small and heavy motors used by
early automobile makers abroad, so they

may be said with some degree OF truth
that the improvements made necessary 10y
