In the future when you have opportunity to view the many shipping vessels from high above on the straits bridge, remember this: These ships carry 85 per cent of all the iron ore used in the United States, plus tremendous quantities of coal, limestone, grain and other commodities, a third of the way across this con-, tinent. * * * MILWAUKEE, Chicago, Gary, Detroit, Toledo, Loraine, Cleve• j t L I N O ! land, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Erie and Buffalo—these are to• day the great producing centers of the greatest manufacturing region the world has ever known.
