For. the Good of
 the Community


 THE Truscon Steel Company of 4 Youngstown, Ohio, the largest pro- ducer of steel building fittings and stand ard steel buildings, came to Birmingham year ago.
 It came to Birmingham because it could not bring Birmingham to it. That is potent reasoning
 Asked why the company had opened large warehouse here and made this it's southern headquarters, the answer was: We have come to Birmingham, be- cause
 "You have here the steel which we re- uuire for our fabrications.
 Birmingham is natural distributing point for the south, the southwest the Pacific coast and as far north as the Ohio river"
 Tons of words would not have been more reliably and eloquently illustrative of this districts steel manufacturing and shipping advantages.
 Another sentence might have been added. It should read:
 Birmingham is also most advantage ously situated with reference to export business in steel products
 This concern carries stock of 2,000 tons in it's Avenue D warehouse and there fabricates the concrete steel shapes which go into Birmingham structures. Lat or on it will install machinery for fabricating metal sash, windows and doors. There is no reason why it should not ultimately manufacture it's entire standard steel buildings here, because it is erecting such buildings in Birmingham's territory. It's handiWork is in evidence in Birmingham, in Mobile, in Gadsden and other Alabama cities.
 Thus is Birmingham jostling the Pitts burgh plus freight aside. Important con- sessions have already been made. More will come as local steel fabrication in- creases
 The Birmingham Steel Corporation is another successful newcomer in the steel turning line. Having fabricated many steel shapes for ships that were built in Mobile it is kept busy making structural steel for bridges and office buildings all over the south.
 The Concrete Steel, the National Steel Products the steel welding works, bridge concerns and such structural steel work CTS as the Ingalls, Iron Works are making of Birmingham real steel fabricating center.
 We are furnishing structural steel for Cuban sugar houses and we are building here the steel containers that will carry merchandise freight on the Warrior.
 Our steel shapes made at Fairfield and Westfeld are going in ships made of Ala bama steel to Europe and to Asia
 Dental instruments are made in Bir- mingham Birmingham tool seel goes to Britain to be fashioned into razors knives, axes and saws over there. It is short step to manufacture them in Birmingham.
