Show i j SEEKING NEW COPPER MARKETS. In technical achievement the copper cop-per industry has made epochal progress pro-gress in the la9t five years. This is particularly true in the matter of obtaining ob-taining more metal from a given amount of ore, and in making use of low-grade ore. However, this technical advancement advance-ment has been largely the cause of the overproduction that is now perplexing per-plexing the industry. What copper needs, according to many authorities, is progress in marketing methods to parallel its scientific progress. Production Pro-duction must be curtailed to within the limits of demand, and new uses for the metal must be developed and new commercial markets explored. Several copper producing states are now strongly advocating that their motor license plates be made of copper cop-per with good legitimate arguments for its use. Similar help could be given giv-en coppermining, with public benefit, along many lines. |
