It was this saving of labor and fuel that made American steel the cheapest steel in the world.

And that's why the wages of steel and iron workers in America are the highest in the world.
Father was in the mills getting these good wages, though no puddler was ever paid for all the work he does, and all of us young Davises were eager to grow up so that we could learn the trade and get some of that good money ourselves.

My hands itched for labor, and I wanted nothing better than to be big enough to put a finger in this industry that was building up America before my very eyes.

I have always been a doer and a builder, it was in my blood and the blood of my tribe, as it is born in the blood of beavers.

When I meet a man who is a loafer and a destroyer, I know he is alien to me.
