...lounges, 28 laundries, rows of freezers, snack rooms, playrooms and hobby rooms. A network of tunnels connects the Hodge and other buildings, including a schoolhouse with a capacity of 200 pupils.

...sick industries of the U.S. only a few years ago, steel looks so healthy today because steelmen have learned some modern lessons about how to take full advantage of national prosperity. After years of dawdling, they have finally become avid disciples of the latest cost-cutting and automation methods. At no firm has this conversion been more complete than at Jones & Laughlin, the nation's fifth largest producer-and nowhere have the results been more dramatic.
