Interesting Talk in Regard to
Uses of Zinc and "Making
It of Zinc by W H
-Trapp
W H Trapp1 who' attended the
annual convention of the American
Zinc Institute during Its sessions last
week made a most interesting talk at
the Rotary meeting Tuesday in re-
gard to the zinc situation in which
that organization Is interested — also
trom the standpoint of one of the
most interested members of the Tri-
State Zinc Institute from a first hand
view
As was advocated in a speech
George McManus
FzA-ruwa Szwvicr NC S-71
reeeritly mride here by -Stephen S
Tuthill secretary " of the Aiuerlcan
Zinc Institute and whose headquar-
ter are In Ne York Mi Trapp iri-
i slated that the uses Of zinc should
be emphasized more and more" ' ' "
The desultory interest in regard to
llhe Insistent demand of "Make it ot
Zinc1” in order to create a market
fur lnc 'products has failed to pro-
duce the necessary market hence
when the mlnef operator and royalty
man the smelter rind the sheet mills
Are" through they have made theli
profit for the present but the article
produced has Insufficient market
from the!! lacg of Interest It seems
very Incongruous to' say the least”
"The Tri-State District is one of the
richest in’ thri world as to productioo
—it is a grea big part of the entire
world production" but few here
seem to realize or care enough' tc
push the uses ot zinc One of tbe
great demands for zinc It for roots
while It is doubtful If theer are more
than two or three small roofs in the
entire district made of zinc 'The
small use has been by people who are
inteersted from a general standpoint
ma'inly while the operators and mine
owner who' Have gotten rich from
the production of ore never think of
boosting the making of zinc pro-
ducts to help create the demand Hill
go right on making their own rooft
of composition shingles— o any
thing beside zinc” said Mr Trapp -“As
Mir Tuthill urged and as the
entire membership Is urging if every
one will help get behind the ‘Make
it ot Zinc' campaign there would
be a stronger demand for zinc foi
manufacturing purposes than could
be met 'by all the zinc mines in (he
country and tbe demand would start
right now-
: “There must of necessity he a cam-
paign of work and of advertising
such as the Anaconda Copper organ-
ization and others put on to make
this campaign ‘Use Zinc Make it bf
Zihc’ go over The American Zinc
Institute has worked ceaselessly and
indefatlgably to help the zinc indus-
try and it is high time that the zinc
industry help itself The Tri-State
District' would ot itself become one of
the richest and most prosperous pro-1
ducing smelting and zinc manufact-
uring Industry in the world it the
mining interests and allied interestr
would ge up and go— start Bauething
and carriy it to a finish as do other
Interests that can see farther than the
