Directly, the famer as an individual is a buyer of steel and on the farmer's prosperity rests the prosperity of the farm implement business, which is one of the three Canadian industries using the most steel. The two other largest direct customers of the steel industry are the railways and the automotive industry. These also are largely dependent on the farmer's prosperity... Moving crops to market is the part of railway business on which nearly all the rest is based. Motor vehicles owned by the farmer or by other people moving food stuffs account for a large part of the total automotive business. Because it is in the steel industry's interest that the farmer have profitable crops, the industry must try to keep down the costs of steel products the farmer must buy. This company is constantly acquiring new facilities to produce more steel for more people.

We can't describe it, for it's invisible. A unit we know as a "kilowatt - hour", muscle-power without an equal. Today, the roar of the bellows and vibrant ring of the anvil are replaced by the hum of motors and the dull thud of the forging hammer.
