...farsighted or lucky. When he laid out his program in 1935 he reckoned on kitchen utensils, Boy Scout knives, soda fountains, perhaps the automobile and construction trades to take the bulk of his expanded output. But 1940 finds him sitting on top of a war boom that keeps some departments of his new plant on three shifts. Because Rustless sells only ingots, billets, slabs, bars, rods and wire, does no fabricating, "Tut" is not sure what percent of his sales go into defense. But stainless steel is used for turbine blades in warships, for the barrels of Garand rifles...
...third floor recreation room a dozen firefighters play penny ante, some of the more energetic shoot pool, and a few others watch traffic along Cambridge Street. Down the hall in a library-common room another group smokes, reads Esquire and the New Yorker, occasionally studies. Off the kitchen, where a stoutish chap is raiding the refrigerator, the Bonfire Band struggles through "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" in preparation for the policeman-fireman ball.

He and his pretty, blue-eyed wife, Ditta Pasztory, played the piano parts. New York Philharmonic Tympanist Solly Goodman and Cymbal & Gong Virtuoso Henry Denecke, surrounded by seven drums, two pairs of cymbals, a triangle and a xylophone (some of them played with their feet), had grown as skittish as a couple of prima donnas. But by the time they...
