Excerpt:
“STEEL—perfect example of industrial diversity, is the hard core of American economy and might. For surgeons’ scalpels or I-beams, the better, more comfortable American way of working and living depends upon the skill of 1,127,413 American steelmen and the millions of investors whose capital makes their work possible. Huge, efficient and productive American Steel—envied by all other nations—takes the opportunity of Free Enterprise and uses it well for the benefit of all Americans.
GENERAL AMERICAN serves America’s great steel mills and many other industries, operating the GATX fleet of more than 37,000 specialized tank cars of 207 types, and the world’s largest public storage teminals for bulk liquids–designing and building freight cars and manufacturing equipment for refineries and processing plants.”
This is a 77 yr. old original vintage ad removed from a 1947 publication and is not a reproduction of any kind.
