and PROFITS to keep mines running
It takes vast amounts of expensive
equipment and machinery to keep
iron ore moving smoothly to the blast
furnaces.
T
It also takes a lot of money.
It is a man-sized job for the profit
dollar.
But the profit dollar doesn’t, have the
strength it used to have.
For the cost of new mining machin
ery, replacement and maintenance
has gone up. And as those costs h.ave
gone up, the purchasing power of the
profit dollar has dropped.
For example, today’s profit dollar
buys only 58 cents’ worth of electric
ore shovel compared with 1938.
Steel profits averaged 6.3 cents on
the sales dollar, last year.
»
Steel profits last year averaged 9.4
cents per dollar of investment.
Steel profits are too low when
measured against the cost of con
tinuing efficiency.
