Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
More Vital than Gold
All the gold buried at Fort Knox, Ky., is less
important to Victory that the rich iron ore
deposits of the Mesabi, Cuyuna and Vermilion
Ranges of Northern Minnesota.
The Mesabi Range alone contains the
world's largest developed deposits, and much
of this ore lies in open pits.
From these pits giant shovels scoop the vital
“red dust" into Great Northern cars, which
dump it a few hours later into docks in Duluth
and Superior, at the Head of the Lakes. There
ore boats are swiftly loaded for delivery to
the nation's steel mills.
When the shipping season closed December
5, new mining records had been set on
the Minnesota ranges, and Great Northern
Railway handled nearly 29,000,000 long
tons-a third Of the Lake Superior district's
total production.
With the necessity of conserving equipment,
Great Northern, between shipping seasons,
is reconditioning motive power. cars, track-age,
and its Allouez docks in Superior, making
ready for a still bigger job in 1943.
The fabulous iron ore deposits in Minnesota
are only part of the wealth contributed to
America by the Zone of Plenty -and delivered
by this vital artery of transportation
Great Northern Railway
Route of the Empire Builder-between the Great Lakes and the Pacific
In the Zone of Plenty
