The Steel Works of Alfred Krupp

Most Americans imagine that we have the greatest country and the largest factories in the world. The national finger is pointed at the rolling mills of Pennsylvania as though their equal were never seen. Perhaps it would enlighten the patriots to know that the steel works of Alfred Krupp, in Germany, cover 900 acres, and contain 280 steam engines and 70 steam hammers, 550 melting and cement ovens, 200,000 crucibles, and 600 tool machines. And only eleven thousand men are employed.
