dirt  into  the  wagons  cannot  but  be  convinced  that 
this  theory  is  totally  false.  Sterling  qualities  of 
manhood  and  womanhood  are  as  evident  as  they

THE  M.  A.  C.  RECORD 

When  the  ribs  and  fly-
wheelof this big machine 
cracked across, the nec 
essary  repairs  were 
made by electric welding 
in  three  hours  actual 
time. 

The needle that knits metals 

There  was  a  time  when  a 
broken  wheel  would  tie  up  a 
big plant  for  days. 

Now  electric  welding  tools 
literally knit together the jag 
ged  edges  of  metals  and  in 
sure  uninterrupted  produc 
tion.  That  means  steady 
wages,  steady  profits,  and  a 
lower  price  to the  consumer. 

One of the  interesting 
d e p a r t m e n ts  of  t he 
GeneralElectricCom-
pany's  works at Sche 
nectady  is the  School 
of  Electric  Welding, 
to  which  any  manu 
facturer  m ay  send 
men  for  instruction.
