Last week, to celebrate his program's completion, tan, robust "Tut" Tuttle invited some 500 newsmen, steel technicians and customers to look over his expanded Baltimore plant. They jostled each other in the long, low, light green business offices, ate liberally of a free buffet lunch, marveled at the progress that had been made. A promoter's scheme in 1929, near bankrupt in 1933, Rustless is now one of the Big Three stainless steel makers (other two: Allegheny Ludlum, Republic).

To girls with buck teeth and freckles, to elderly ladies with grizzled hair, to buxom young things with fat red cheeks and curves too voluminous, he points out cosmetic errors, boldly proposes new hairdos, new foundations. Sample Willis ukase: "Using a rose-tan powder foundation cream will do a blending job. But it won't hide freckles.
