The Durant Motor Company of

W. Gates and others who had seen
the vast possibilities in production
and. lowering " of i manufacturing
costs in bringing together the var
ious steel making units,-set about
to assemble these properties under
one management and control.
Engineering brains of the Uni
ted States were not slow in deter
mining the worth of steel in more
general use. It rapidly began sup
planting the use of wood in build
ing, marine' construction, railroad
caulpment. 'office furniture and.
with the advent of the automotive
industry,' its use . became much
.moreneral.'-T. ; :;;T"-' ?.;V
The use of steel in building con
struction permitted of more sta
bility, greater and roomier build
ings with? a minimum, of tire" haz
ard. In marine circles hte wood
en type" of vessel gave way' to one
of "Bteel and, today the amount of
wood in such-vessels whether on
the Great Lakes or the high seas.
is almost negligible. r w-?- i r
v Railroad: equipment gave way
to steel constructed pasenger
coaches and freight cars. The use
of steel permitted larger cars, thus
permitting greater loads with an
accompanying increase in revenue
withthe same -motlte power. Very
few business offices or counting
rooms art complete tbday without
the use of steel furniture and fil
ing cabinets ai'a protection of rec
ords in case of fire.
Althongh with the advent of the
automotive industry the use of
steel entered - upona- new ; ra4t
was not until 12 years ago that its
uae as safety factor in the man
ufacture of bodies was undertaken
by Dodge Brothers, -Inc.; who
startled the automotive engineer'
lng world by j making' a complete
all steel body for touring cars. J
The public at once saw the nd
vantage .: of this move.- podge
Brothers , experimented further
and five years ago achieved an
even more remarkable- goal eteel
bodies for closed cars. . . , .
Today Dodgei Brothers "Motor
Cars of every typ mre equipped

use of narrow pillars. : Steel has
supplanted wood throughout iia
the manufacture of these bodies.

hoped by the motoring public, will
soon be adopted by the industry
as a whole, -as safety Is today an
