THE US. ARMY Ordnance Department, early

had factory nesr . good supply of water, of
sufficient size to make small calibre ammuni-

four hours. We had such factory on the

came a standardized product made Of steel,
and approved for use on all the battle fronts
The making of this ammunition is really the
art of producing many pieces rapidly-many
thousands per minute, every day, days q
week. Ninety nine operations are performed
to take each piece of ammunition from the
lead, steel and powder stage to the formed,
loaded, tested and packed, finished article -
ready to shoot, - with every piece perfect in
shape, finish, and firing efficiency.
We have made our first billion of this steel
ammunition. Not that this is a top record for
ammunition making but, to us, it is a mile
stone passed on the road to Victory. We will
pass the second and third billion with much
less emotion but we really got a thrill out of
joining the ranks of the important producers
of ammunition.

The following ten states are
tops for 1914: New York, Penn

Missouri, Texas, California, Ore

volume states, I like: Georgia,
Minnesota, Florida, Nebraska,
Utah and Arizona. Florida may
see a real boom. Outstanding
sales cities are scarcer. A year
ago it was simple to spot cities
with expected gains of 400 to
500. Now more cities will show
gains of only SO to 1919 in 1914

of the lot: Detroit, Michigan;
