Thousands of tons mined daily, but where does it all gο?

L look ex round you in any grocery store and what do you see — canned goods o f ait kinds* Soups, vegetables, fruits, berries' Believe it or not, yorn're looking at merchandise that consumed a lot of Sulphur in the making,

Tin cans a r e macîe of tin plate. Tin plate is made of sheet steel. Sheet

steel is mac3ewith the help of sulphuric acid—pickling, as they call it,

the process that removes scale preparatory to plating. In 1 9 5 1 , the

sheet division of our great iron and steei industry is estimated to have

consumed 1 40,000 long tons of Sulphur in the form of sulphuric acid.

That in ifseH makes quite a dent in our supplies of Sulphur. Add to this

almost as much more for treating wire rod, plate, strip, bars, etc., and

you can se<@ that to make finished steel, regardless of form, the iron

and steel industry must use lots of Sulphur in the form of sulphuric acid.

Right here is an excellent example of the interdependence of all of

our industries.To produce steel requires a lot of Sulphur. To produce

Sulphur a n d other mined products requires a lot of steel. This inter­

dependence of industries is one of the country's sources of strength.
