KRUPP FACTORY
BUILT BIG CITY
Germany's War Plant Maintains
ATOwn OF 100000
People

Describing the City of Essen, Ger
many, and the great industrial organ
ization that has made it famous the
National Geographic Society, IN an
interesting statement concerning the
geography of the European war, sets
out the following facts:
"The town of Essen might just as
we'll have been named 'Krupp.' OF
course Essen was founded centuries
before the house of Krupp, but its i'm
portance and industrial fame is of
very recent growth. 1t is, in fact, a
product of the famous firm. Almost
everybody in Essen nowadays depends
for his livelihood upon the firm of
Krupp and Essen in city of 100000
population 1t might be pointed out
that the horizon of Essen is about linn
tied by Krupp steel, the firm extends
far beyond the limits of the city, with
numerous branches, iron ore mines,
coal mines, smelters and industrial
village bearing its name, foundries in
Berlin and other cities, and shipyard
at Kiel.
Essen is situated in the heart Of
rich coal and iron country and upon
a network of railways that reach to
all of the chief mining and industrial
centers of the Rhineland. 1t is locat-
ed in the Prussian Rhine province,
twenty miles northeast of Duessel-
dorf. The streets of the city are clean
and we'll laid out. The houses, for the
most part, are substantially built and
belong to the firm of Krupp. There
is, however, thick atmosphere of in
dustrial gloom over the city. 1t looks
drab in spite of paint, and cherries
in spite of the vast wealth that its la
Dor earns. There is no single lighter
feature to redeem the city which has
been called into an important place in
the world by Germany's greatest steel
firm. i
"The firm of Krupp, about which
numerous notices have been printed
since the wars outbreak, is little more
than a hundred years old. However,
1t IS some years since prominent

about the dynasty of Krupp, in which
he considers this fa,nily's fortune as

large enough to be classed among the
seven world wonders.
"The foundation of the Krupp firm
at Essen on the Rhine, occurred in the
year 1912. 1t was in the first days of
cast steel, and, at that time, the Eng
lish steel industry led the world al
most to degree of monopoly.Alfred
Krupp's works were established for
the manufacture of cast steel. The
early days of the firm were days of
bitter, and apparently, fruitless strug-
gle. As late as 1S4S, thirty-six years
after their foundation, the Krupp
works employed only seventy work
men. But then the age of railways
dawned, and cast steel became an I'M
portant article of commerce. About
this time, too, the owner went into
the work of developing guns, and his
factory forged the cast steel guns,
amid whose thunder the engine was
forged and welded.
"The founder of the factory died be-
fore realizing the success of his life's
venture, and his fourteen-year-old son
took up the burden, continuing the es-
Establishments slow progress. About
1S49, the struggle was finally sue
cessful, the Krupp works sold their
goods throughout Germany and num-
hered cutomers in more than half of
the countries of Europe. By 1873,
1900 workmen were employed, and
the firm had begun to purchase iron
and coal mines and blast furnaces.
Long before their triumph, however,
the Krupps had put into operation
those social service reforms that were
destined to find echo around the world
In the early sos the firm had estab-
hshed for its workmen a sick, aid and
pension fund, from which the German
empire was to draw the inspiration
that led to the establishment of a
state insurance system.
''The business has ALWAYS remained
the personal property of the Krupp
family. 1t is owned today by Bertha
Krupp, who, in 1906, married the
Prussian diplomat, formerly attached
to the embassy at Washington, DR..
Gustav Won Bohlen and Halbach.
Just before Bertha Krupp took over
the works they were organized for
administration purposes into joint
stock company. All but four shares
Of $3.50 each, were taken over by Miss
Krupp. The firms capital was placed
at $50 100000
