COPPER INDUSTRY MAKING MONEY
A marked degree of stability in the copper industry
has been brought about by improved methods of mining,
milling, smelting, organized marketing facilities and
growing consumption, says George E. Eddins of the Nat
ional Bank of Commerce, in the January issue of Com
merce Monthly.
“The profound improvement in the position of the
copper industry during the last few years reflects a tri
umph of technology and productive efficiency over well
nigh insuperable difficulties”, says Mr. Eddin.
“Copper has been selling consistently at prices ma
terially below the pre-war levels. Wages, cost of mater
ials consumed, transportation charges, taxes and similar
items of expense ran from 50 to 100 percent higher than
before the war. The ore now available averages far be
low in grade than formerly was treated. It is in the face
of such obstacles that the industry as a whole has won its
way back to a money-making basis.”
The chief factors that have revolutionized the indus
try from the production angle are improved flotation,
leaching and smelting practices, and the broad application
of electric and steam power in handling crude ore.
A child’s honest questions should receive honest an
swers.
A TIMELY TOPIC
The newspaper editor can put any politician out of
business if he wants to. The politician is always reform
ing mostly at the newspapers’ expense. Several years
back a new city charter was adopted at Springfield, and
the papers stood by while politicians cut down the legal
advertising allowed. The politician finds it much easier
to graft when there is no account of his transactions re
quired to be published; that is why he dislikes legal ad
vertising, and under the cloak of saving the public money
he fights such legislation. (Exchange)
Get behind all good movements, but don’t get so far
behind you have to run to catch up.
Henry made an awful mistake making his new car’s
body of steel and steering wheel of rubber. He took away
the driver’s last chance to knock on wood.
Many a man swallows the lump in his throat as he
tries to make himself believe that every knock is a boost.
Don’t let the “campaign year” affect business.
