Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Iron and Steel Manufacturing Company, Lebanon's Great Iron Works: Read Before the Lebanon County Historical Society, April 20, 1916 The original crude square iron, in time, was replaced by round bars of uniform and perfect shape; the swaging block gave place to the rolling mill with its trains; automatic ma chinery has largely done the work formerly required of the' human machine and human muscles; oil and coal dust now. Supply heat, and the dense smoke from great stacks is no longer an indication of business actiiity; electricity has sup planted the steam engine, and the great buildings of_ great corporations now occupy the space where humble little shops in the past turned out, in their feeble way, more goods than a doubting world was willing to consume, and at a price which it would now be impossible to obtain.
