It still makes 7,000,000 lb. of tacks a year, also brads and rivets, but its line of 24,000 items now includes metal buttons, shoe eyelets, bottle caps. The faith of Kermit Roosevelt et al in tacks and bottle caps was partly justified by Atlas' earning for the first six months: $20,000 profit against a $40,000 deficit in the first half...
