...arbitrarily boosted the price to put a quietus on a new form of platinum trading. In Manhattan two months ago a syndicate headed by Alexander Eisemann & Co., assisted by International Platinum Corp., began issuing warehouse receipts against platinum. Buying platinum at wholesale, they had it melted into small rectangular ingots, .995 fine, weighing 3 oz. and so certified by Handy & Harman, well-known assayers. The ingots, each stamped with an identifying number and placed in a small fibre box, were put in the custody of the safe deposit affiliate of Manhattan's Chemical Bank & Trust Co. which issued warehouse...
After two discouraging years he found in Pittsburgh a backer named Alfred E. Hunt. Together they started Pittsburgh Reduction Co.. which later became the Mellon-controlled Aluminum Co. of America. The first run in their crude little shop produced an aluminum ingot the size and shape of a pancake...
Last week in the fifth round of its long and litigious effort to tag Aluminum Co. of America as a monopoly, Baush Machine Tool Co. received a sharp and sudden jolt.

Last year it completed a four-year program of diversification by building a tin-plate mill. Its sales and profits this year came chiefly from sheet and strip steel...
Even with its $156,000,000 in assets National Steel is small as U. S. steel companies go. Its ingot capacity is less than one-tenth that of sprawling U. S. Steel Corp. Yet National was a Depression star, having made money in every year since it was born 30 days after the 1929 Crash. In the first quarter of this year, when eleven of the 15 leading steelmakers were in the black, National led the field with profits...
