Tin Can Has Helped Make America
Great

The epic of the tin can. Our skill
in producing tin plate has developed
out of our ability to supply the
world with American tin cans. Cans
for kerosene, timed beef, salmon,
California fruits. Hawaiian pine
apple, Maryland tomatoes.
We lead the world in the produc-
ton of canned foods; first, because
we have the raw fruits; second, be-
cause we are proof against old
world prcjudices to timed foods;
third, because time grows more
valuable as we travel from east to
west, is the assertion of u writer in
The Nations Business. Time means
nothing to the oriental, and the
typical German hausfrau spends
good part of the day in the kitchen
over her pots and pans. The ability
to improvise a meal out of timed
foods answers to the demand for
short cuts in our swift-moving,
complex western life.
The era of abbreviation! "Slow."
as our forefathers knew the term, is
not only out of fashion, but we
shorten the word itself by rs per
cent. AS to the tin can, be it known
that tin plate is nothing more than
paper thin sheet iron which our
steel companies turn out by the
thousands of square feet. These
sheets are given a bath in molten
tin and are thus presented to the
world under the bright and shining
aspect of tin plate. In casting about
for container for preserved and
concentrated foods the world was
smart enough to discover that tin
Goes not tarnish in the air and is
proof against meat, fruit and vege-
table acids
