AMERICA PRODUCES IT'S OWN BRONZE POWDER
VIZ HEN the United States entered the all Of
wv mportatlons Of products from Germany
naturally cut of. Large numbers OF these products
had been supplied 20 for many years and we had
become practically dependent upon Germany for many
things which we now forced to produce ourselves.
Among these products formerly imported from Ger
many bronze powder. The United states industries
practically 6OOOOoO pounds Of this product annually
and thirty-n,e per cent OF total consumption
formerly imported from Germany. For many years
German manufacturers have been practically conrpng
the powder this country due to the fact
that they have been offering prices which less
than those Of the American producers Bronze powder
and texture The finer qualities Of powder. Of course,
cost much more than the lower grade. but it Is neces
sary to produce all grades in order 10 obtain the Aner
grades by a process Of refining
Germans had a steady market in Europe for all the
higher grades OF bronze powder that manufactured
They did not, however have q European demand for
the lower grades and result exported large quantities
of the lower grades to America German nrms made
such a large profit their finer grades that they could
offer to sell the lower grades very cheaply As result
Of this condition present enemies placed their pro-
ducts our market a; price, which although It in
cuded import duty. lower than the price al which
corresponding grades could be produced by American
manufacturers Under such competitive conditions the
development OF the industry this side OF the Atlantic
naturally did not advance very rapidly and Germany
ried on the Of the trade for many years
The declaration Of against the Teuton nations
however, stopped imports OF bronze powder The
American manufacturers seeing their opportunity TO get
this trade instantly increased manufacturing fac
ties 20 supply the demand. The opportunity to supply
the trade without foreign competition gave
facurerers chance TO study the requirements Of the
Of bronze powder and to change their methods
production TO give product that would suit these
needs.
The success OF their endeavors is attested 10 by
large Of bronze powder who has for many years
bought German-made powder IN preference TO American
brands and who now says: "Ths American product has
almost reached the standard OF the German powder and
we believe that at the end Of the the quality and
price Of the domestic product win be attractive to
make any foreign competition impossible" This re-
suits the addition the list Of Ameroan-made products
OF another product which for many years Germany
been the chief producer and consequently further de-
yelops Capitalization OF manufacture Of products
which used in this country.
