E. C.
Atkins Believes, Practices
The “‘Son-Follow-Father’ Tradition
By ROGER BUDROW
THE WAY TO DEVELOP AND CARRY ON a tradition of fine workmanship and skill is for the son to follow the trade of his father, E. C. Atkins believes.
The vice president of the Indianapolis saw maniitacture
ing company, one of the largest in the world, emphasized
his belief at a meeting of the
local chapter of the American
Society of Tool Engineers last night.
The first E. C. Atkins came from a ‘family of saw makers in which the secrets of the trade had been handed down from father to son and brought trom England to’ America not long after the Revolutionary War. ; Elias Atkins, born in 1833 in Bristol, Conn, “worked as an apprentice in his uncle’s saw works for only “ $30 a Ye 1857 he orECAtking ed $500, set up an anvil and added a few implements in a small shed in S. East St. here, called his shop the Sheffield Saw Works. He sent to Con-necticut.-for Louis Suher, a saw wright, who walked all the way to Indiahapolis to become the first reguldr employee ‘in the Atkins plant where he worked the remainder of his life and where his spn now works. Before the death of Elias C. Atkins Sr. in 1901, his son ‘Henry - learped the business and took over the presidency he now holds. Three sons of H. C. Atkins Sr. are now active in the company—Elias C. Atkins, vice president, Keyes W. Atkines, vice president and sales manager, and Henry C. Atkins Jr., plant- superintendent. william A. Atkins, cousin of H. C. Atkins Sr., also is vice president. And now the next generation is starting in. Last summer,” ‘during his vacation from college,” Elias GC. Atkins III worked at the factory.

The 1940 spring and fall pig crops are about 10 per cent smaller than last year which will decrease | substantially the number of hogs for slaughter. : gow "EVER WONDER what happens "to all the steel the mills keep turning out? Since 1854 about 1,760,000,000 tons of rolled or cast iron and steel have been used in this country, American Iron & Steel Institute reports. : Of this almost one-third has been bought back by steel mills and foundries as scrap metal, reprocessed into new iron and steel. Most of the remaining total is still in
service, in buildings, bridges, railroad equipment, ships, automobiles, tools, machinery, pipes, bathtubs and a host of other articles. Of course scme has been exported. II from this country. But millicns of tons formerly in use here have been

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (U. P)—A firm tone developed on the stock market toward noon today after the list had held steady in early trading.

1000,000, necessary to lift this year’s

That was a gain of 60 per cent over the previous week’s figure of $81,725,000, and 175 per cent over the $47,702,000 reported in the correspondidng 1939 period.

NEW YORK, Dec, 20 (U. P).— John L. Collyer, president of the
B. F. Goodrich Co., today proposed a two-point program designed to cope with the problems of merchandising new synthetic materials now on the market, Mr. Collyer urged scientific training for retail sales staffs and creation of “a new advertising and promotional term, like C.

These two methotls, he said, are the, two most effective. means of “bringing the public up to date on the advantages offered by the 10,000 products of the nation’s rapidly growing synthetics industries,”
