SERVICE PERSONAL SERVICE COMPANY VOL IX NOVEMBER 1922 No. 6 To Armco's Working Organization By By President George M. Verity ANOTHER year has passed into history and on March 7 next 1923 your company will have been in constant operation for just twenty years During the past year 21 men have received their twentyyear service pins and our Armco organization now has 108 men wearing twenty service pins 171 men wearing fifteen service pins 566 men wearing year service pins and 1410 men wearing year service pins That group of men represents Armco's most valuable asset I want to express to you my great appreciation and that of our Board of Directors for the loyal and efficient service rendered during the years of the war and during the last two years of readjustment During the year 1921 under the stress of the most drastic readjustment that the business world ever saw many a strong business went down like the great steamship Titanic when it hit the gigantic iceberg It was the most trying of all the years during which we have worked together The experiences of that year resolved themselves into a test of loyalty and endurance The year 1922 has again fully visualized the fighting spirit of every group of our Armco organization Your earnest co- operation and your efficient effort turned as far as full operation was concerned victory a prospective defeat into an outstanding During the trying days of the summer and early fall when the rail and coal strikes so nearly paralyzed all industrial activity the steel business as a whole averaged from fifty to sixty percent operation During November the average operation of the steel business as a whole was approximately seventy percent complete In spite of the worst traffic situation we have ever known in spite of a elimination of coal as fuel in our most 219 t important departments Armco operated a full percent all through the summer and fall one hundred it has made an outstanding operating rmecoonrtdhs and in so doing C In order that our valued customers might be served and 6 our the working organization have full employment Armco paid price for expensive substitute fuels and you did the rest This adds the sheaf to the long record of achievement covering Armco's operating record as compared to other indus- tries from period to period under the varying conditions that have existed during the past twenty years During the past year costs and selling prices have had to advance under the pressure of increased wages and salaries and higher prices of raw materials Actual costs of finished products under the ditions that have existed during the last half changing of con- only be ascertained after the year is finished the year can

When a crowd takes a thing like that seriously one is tempted to exclaim How long O Lord how ie long S From the days of Cobden and Bright the great dream of Saxon democracy has been universal suffrage That dream has been attained but a vast horde of ignorant and un- qualified voters present us with a new and graver problem CD Some thinkers are beginning to predict that as the past century witnessed the extension of the franchise the next century may witness its restriction Lord Bryce in his massive work on Democracies cautions Do not give a people institutions for which it is unripe in the simple faith that the tool will give skill for the workman's hand The word Liberty dear to the unthinking this present might appropriately be given a holiday while we listen a little more to that neglected word Authority The Centurion told our Lord I say unto one man Go and he goes I say unto another Come and he comes Rome mother of that centurion was mistress of the world The Children of Israel longing for plenty had to follow Moses with unquestioning obedience In like manner no great 223 industrial being can come to us today unless the masses continue to follow their true leader Of course our first problem is to find the leader but having found him we must give him our loyal adhesion and as he advances so shall we all But Some declare that they came to America to get rid of kings even America is not without its kings The new world kings do not come to power like those of the Old World Over there they attain to rulership as the first of the litter Over here it is vastly different The American king was defined by m Thomas Carlyle who said The King is the man who can A Such a king emerged in a slight accident on the Pennsyl- 11 vania Railroad An express train from New York to Phila- delphia stopped suddenly After some delay the passengers t alighted and came up to find the engine crew attempting to is make a minor repair The job was baffling to the crew Just then from the crowd there stepped forth a haired com- mandGiingvelomoe kinag hgaenmtmle emran who demanded peremptorily : .

A. Emerson in March 1912 at 112 Rua Primero de Marco and in 1913 a branch assembly plant was erected at Pont da Taju Later Dr. Mario W. Tebyrica was employed as Joint Manager of the Brazilian office and works Armco was duly registered to operate under the Brazilian laws and established itself independently on that market Our offices were later moved to the Guinle Building at 105 Avenida Rio Branco J. F. Melhope succeeded Tebyrica and was later replaced by J. M. Beard At this writing the executive force in Rio consists of J. M. Beard Manager of Branch Office and Works R. D. Godinho Assistant and two clerks The Culvert and Flume Shop is situated back of the Gas Works on the Mangue Canal and is equipped with heavy shears one set of forming rolls three punch and riveting machines and miscellaneous sheet metal working tools There is room in the present building for other heavy sheet metal working machinery and plans are being made to have the factory well equipped as a first class around sheet metal works The factory superintendent is Lutz Chiaverini The efforts of the Rio Branch are centered entirely on Armco Ingot Iron sheets and plates culverts flumes and con- version products such as Armco Ingot Iron wire tubes etc. A stock of culverts sheets and plates is maintained at the works and the selling campaign is carried on by means of and magazine publicity direct and systematic newspaper mailing cam- paigns with frequent follow also by personal visits of Mr. Beard with customers and prospects Mr. Beard better known as Bart went to Brazil from this department and is well equipped to handle the sales of Armco Ingot Iron products also to extend our activities with further manufacturing of sheet metal products as he sees the opportunity developing He is well equipped to build up a sales organization that will cover the important distributing points of Brazil either by means of agents traveling salesmen or correspondence Mr. Godinho is a native Brazilian loyal conscientious and well equipped to make an ideal assistant to Mr. Beard He has been with the Rio Branch since 1916 It is hoped that the interesting views of Brazil and Armco products in Brazil which accompany this article will help you realize that Armco is on the map there Many miles of Armco culverts have been made up and sold by our Brazilian Branch and our enameling customers there require thousands of tons yearly We have an Ohio boy there for several years a resident of Middletown looking out for our interests Let's give him the best we know how 228 Ir the stnd ras OW ied ec- 00 It The ordinary gas stove around the mill kind we used to light in November and turn out the following April one month would cost the Company 60.00 if it burned 24 hours a day Too much stress cannot be placed on the importance of having the burners high inches below the cooking utensils In cases where the burners are lower they may be raised by supplying the manifold with shorter brackets in front and higher supports or hangers in the back By being informed of the name and number of the stove any down dealer should be enabled to order from the factory the parts necessary for raising the burners Our local gas company will be glad to advise with you before making this change For cooking operations it is only the tip of the flame that can be used for effective service If the flame is short and the vessel is so far away that the hot point of the flame does not come to the vessel satisfactory results cannot be obtained If the flame is very long in order to reach the vessel the stove will be wasteful in the use of gas as a part of the heat from the flame will be deflected from the vessel This is clearly illustrated in the accompanying illustration A burner with a large number of short flames will give better results than with fewer long flames provided however that it is placed at the proper distance from the vessel It is also obvious that in times of low gas pressure the nearer the burner to the vessel the quicker the results By turning the cap which encloses the needle valve to the right as far as possible it is possible to alleviate the called low pressure conditions This cap when turned to the right opens the valve and when turned to the left closes the needle point thus cutting off the gas To secure the proper mixture of air and gas open the air mixer shutter quite wide for during low pressure conditions it is necessary to have as large an area of opening as possible in order that a proper proportion of air be entrained to mix with the gas entering at low velocities to produce perfect combustion Imperfect combustion can easily be detected by examining the bottom of the cooking utensils If the bottoms of the utensils are blackened then you are not getting the proper combustion and therefore not getting the full heat value from your gas Another indication of good combustion is to watch the flame quick blue flame indicates good combustion while a yellow flame announces the presence of carbon particles that have escaped combustion billbill Remember that to waste gas means to increase your gas um- ober r de ero d at as was tab- vere nco y J. sists D.

Department of Commerce estimates that one hundred and fifty billion cubic feet of natural gas are wasted annually These figures are so great that we can't grasp them but when we consider that most of us waste one or two thou- sand feet a month with its resultant dent in the family pocketbook then this waste becomes appreciated A great part of it can be prevented Gas waste can usually be attributed to three distinct causes First burners being set too low second improper combustion due to poor adjustment of needlevalve or dirty burner third indirect application of the heat due to the use of solid lids It has been demonstrated that by raising the burner to the proper distance 11/4 inches from the cooking utensil adjust- ing the needle valve in accordance with the gas pressure and removing the solid lid it is possible to save ten cubic feet of gas per hour and do the work in half the time In order to show the value of this to you in dollars and cents it must be assumed that a burner is used three hours per day by making the nec- essary adjustments it is possible in thirty days to save 1200 cubic feet of gas or forty cents on a single burner It is worth saving 230 d i I S h C t f 1 i d t

instead of attempting an original contribution Ac- cept its spirit with the best wishes and the heartiest Christ- mas Greetings of the Employment Department Most young men of ambition are in constant search of those who will help them on the road to success Such aid is found in many ways and through many persons It may come through friends chance acquaintances books and formal education and training It may take the form of wise advice searching criticism and disinterested appraisal of character It may be free or bought and paid for It may be amateur or pro- fessional It may be found in the lives of great men in casual anecdote in textbook theory in everyday experience in the ob- servation of one's associates But no outsider no outside force can wave the wand that brings success Fundamentally it is not to be found in other persons in books or lectures or even in observation Deeds and not words are what put men on top The successful man may gain help and inspiration from others but he always blazes a path of his own The most valuable advice and analyses he ever gets are those to which he subjects himself his own job analysis He always makes The ambitious salesman takes a course in salesmanship It will help him possibly But there is no fairy wand and though a belief in fairies adds to the joy of childhood it only carries adults away from the straight and forward path The course in salesmanship may do more harm than good if it is conceived of as anything more than an aid to growth All outside aids are in a sense artificial Expert advice educa- tion books articles in newspapers and magazines training courses trouble with all that are honestly conceived and offered is that so many people take them as something that can be put on as a top story to their personal structure No search is so frequent yet so useless and pitiful as that for a substitute to take the place of the slow and painful process of inner growth Inventory Time Happy New The

Christ in every possible way by the culture of the Greeks by Roman Dominion by Old Testament Revelation Expectations of the coming of a Messiah in various forms of clearness were at that time by the

R. Freeze Roy Freeze well known to Armeo Folks as Superintendent of the Fac- # tory Department was first employed as a Factory laborer on May 15 f 1902. In short time Roy was trans_ ferred to the machine shop and served his apprenticeship at that trade His experience was further strengthened by a year in the draft- _ ing room But Roy liked the Factory ' work and he naturally gravitated Mem back to as machinist Some three ; ae me # | years later position of Factory In 1919 he was promoted to master mechanic of the Armco Culvert the the and Flume Manufacturers Association be- gan the designing of special machinery There was no one more familiar with their needs than Roy so on October 1st of that year he was loaned by Armco to the Association for that purpose In two years this work was finished and on October 1 1921 Roy returned to the Factory Department On January 1 1922. he was officially installed as Factory Superintendent Sam Embry On May 1 1902 Sam Embry began work on his first regular job a laborer at Central Works In a short time Sam was transferred to the Bar Mill However he was mechanically inclined so his first step toward getting the kind of a job in which he was most interested was to get a transfer to the boiler room as fire- man's helper Then in order to complete his practical education Sam joined the millwrights as a helper and afterwards became a member of the pipe shop crew Later he was transferred to the boiler room again this time as head fireman In 1905 Sam's mechanical knowledge stood him in good stead for he was made general repairman on all boilers pumps and engines at Central Works Ha Guard Your Mouth Gateway to Health T keynote of good health is cleanliness of person and surroundings while the chief cause of disease is filth To have and to keep good health strict obedience must be paid to the laws of hygiene especially personal cleanliness Cleanliness is at all times important as a preventative of disease Many diseases are caused by an unclean mouth namely rheumatism arthritis stomatitis neuritis pyorrhea heart and kidney diseases There are also germs of typhoid pneumonia and diphtheria in the mouth which often develop and produce disease Pyorrhea is a diseased condition of the gums The gums become soft spongy and infected and frequently the become loose and it is necessary to have them extracted eased gums and teeth are among the most frequent sources which the rest of the body is poisoned teeth Dis- from With proper care of the mouth many diseases may be avoided A foul breath very often is a symptom of an unclean mouth Keep the mouth clean Do not put your fingers coins pencils etc. into the mouth as they may carry germs of infec- tion Watch the tongue it should be scraped and kept clean Wash and rinse the mouth thoroughly use soap if necessary Common table salt dissolved in water makes a good mouth wash The teeth and gums should be brushed well after each meal and on arising brush the back of the teeth as well as the front and rinse the mouth well Use a good stiff brush and good tooth paste Remove all particles of food with dental floss or silk thread Remember that the food which remains between the teeth and in the cavities of teeth soon decays and becomes poisonous and you are continually swallowing the poison from it You would not think of eating any decayed food but don't forget you are doing so when the mouth is unclean An endless amount of infected material from the poisoned food decayed teeth and infected gums is being absorbed and this sets up a chronic toxic condition Old roots and badly decayed teeth should be removed and all cavities filled Keep the mouth clean and thus free yourself from conditions which favor the culture and growth of germs By so doing you will improve your general health and remain well Ida M.

J. Sheldon of Mr. B. K. Lawrence and many other gentlemen in your organization we have gained a wealth of knowledge It would be impossible for us to demonstrate to you how much we have benefitted by your most excellent metallurgical course This will prove itself later We are now in a position to return to our respective territories armed with ammunition which will successfully counteract any unreliable information of competitors or argu- ments founded only on theory We have the facts We are grateful to you men of the Armco organization for the splendid manner in which we have been received and treated while guests at your works and in your club and we want you to know that we have felt the warmth of the strong 240 o the , will mber ecent on to . but oy ilvert own hav- ourse " last pass killed ed in ot us was were ce been epted erved each which ntion fore e un- r B. tion sible d by tself ctive fully rgu- tion and we rong Armco sorbed sold on spirit which permeates this organization We have ab- this warmth and above everything else we have been a superior product by a superior organization G.

I used to be like other men before I struck it lucky Just an ordinary plug from the hills of Old Kentucky But nowdays things are different I'm a man of For I'm working at the Rolling Mill the great greatest place renown in I used to hear of Middletown when I was back town I And Oh How longed to be there to learn among the sticks So one day late in August when the some city tricks I sold my dog and grabbed my sun was duds and going down Once seated on the cushions heart caught a train for town But I felt a touch of my sadness as the was light and old hills died gay When the man took up the tickets I told him away without To stop the train at fail Middletown if he had to jump the rail The train flew on like fury for they said that she was late And I longed to be behind the plow where the speed was not so I began to get uneasy and thought they had carried me by But when I asked the ticket man I heaved a heavy sigh No we've not carried you by said he won't be there yet for hours Just keep your seat don't lose your head you're still the I had begun to get discouraged and thought they'd among lost their When the engine blew its whistle and I heard a rounder way We're pulling into Middletown the place I love so well say Just because its by the Polar Bear where all the briars dwell Sure enough the man was right the train pulled up and stopped I grabbed my duds jumped to my feet and from the train I hopped I looked around and all was strange but I had my nerve along So I pulled my hat down on my ear and sang a mountain a I found a place to feed my face for I was hungry as song bear And I ate until they called for help to pull me from the chair I took a chew of tobacco and spit until I was weak Then I beat it up to bed to try to get some sleep I jumped up bright and early dressed and hurried down Eat up everything they had and hustled out in town I thought that jobs were plentiful and not so hard to find But along before the close of day I begun to change my mind I hiked from Middletown to Amanda and up Gobblers knob I drilled through Meadowlawn but I couldn't find a job I didn't get discouraged for I said I wouldn't fail But would land a job in Middletown if I had to go to jail I found a job the second day in a foundry hauling sand I was chaffeur on a wheelbarrow where I worked to beat the band Work and me had met before but we never could agree So I told the boss at quitting that this job was not for me I couldn't find a job at all that seemed to strike my notion For every one that I would get kept me too much in motion I begun to get discouraged although I said I wouldn't fail But my nerve was shot to pieces and I was growing pail I thought of all the jobs I'd had in foundries shops and mills And I longed to be behind the plow in the Old Kentucky hills But something seemed to tell me if I'd hold on and try That I would strike it lucky in the sweet by and by Little did I think then when I made up my mind to stay That I would be the man I am on the job I have today Every day I'd hit the trail I never will forget a At last I struck it lucky and at last I made hit I was strolling on Crawford Street I ran into a place they said was the rolling mill I ran right in the Office I never stopped to think When I bumped into a man they said was Mr. Kellie 243 words What do you want he said to me as loud as thunder great briars And how I kept from fainting is yet to me a wonder Is Mr. Murry in says I they say this is his mill I want to ask him for a job as I have no time to kill I said I's from Kentucky and raised back in the woods And for Come work was what he wanted I's right there with the goods along he said to me I need a man right now But you'll find that handling iron is some different from the plow So I went to work that
