Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Benjamin F. Fairless has spent his life producing steel for America . . . as President and Chairman of the
Board, United States Steel Corporation, and now as President of the American Iron and Steel Institute.
THE RACE YOU ALWAYS WIN
By BENJAMIN F. FAIRLESS
"I.'s the competitive race within ec.ch American, industry-
race which has brought our country almost unbelievable
progress . . . and the highest level of prosperity in the world.
"Every industry has been part
of this progress-progress
sparked not only by competition
within each industry but
by close teamwork between industries
. . . like steel and oil.
"Once oil derricks were built
of wood, and the steel industry
used tallow to lubricate. Today
derricks, cables and drills are
all made of steel. From the moment
oil escapes its underground
prison till it reaches
yo"uA, int dis i enn tcuarsne,d t h ien s steteeel li.ndus.
try depends on oil. It takes over
2 billion gallons of fuel oil and
a half a trillion cubic feet of
natural gas to produce a year.s
supply of steel.
"In this give-and-take relationship
we have come to know
America's highly competitive
oil industry well. Each of the
thousands of oil companies, like
each steel company, knows that
the only way to stay ahead of
rivals is to keep developing
new or improved services and
products, always at the lowest
possible price.
“To make sure this kind of
progress continues, we must
guard industry's freedom of
competitive action with the
same zeal that we guard our
freedom as individuals."
