Steel in Discarded Razor Blades Could Build Many Tanks

Item

Each year American men toss away 3,000 tons of high-grade steel in used razor blades which would be suitable for armament, sayg-American Iron and Steel Institute. One company alone requires 50 tons for steel a year to make tiny staples like [those at the base of match books. Paper clips account for an additional 1,200 tons of steel annually. Steel parts in men’s suspenders would provide enough steel to turn out ten 25-ton tanks, and metal in women’s corsets would equal 25 destroyers a year based on 1,000 tons of steel per destroyer.
