About this piece
U.S. Steel News, July 1949, Vol. 14, No. 3, published by United States Steel Corporation of Delaware, Pittsburgh. The color cover is an aerial view of downtown Pittsburgh at the Point, captioned "Pittsburgh — Capital of Steeldom." About 8.3 x 11 inches. Cover scuffing and creasing, light edge wear, and a small price sticker on the back.
Inside, the issue opens the "Steel City Saga" feature on Pittsburgh's early years with an 1817 view of the city, plus an article and chart on real wages doubling in forty years. The back cover is a full-color U.S.S. Vitrenamel ad with a family admiring a porcelain-enamel chest freezer and a list of U.S. Steel subsidiaries.
A nice piece for Pittsburgh, steel-industry and mid-century advertising collectors.
