competent industries of the world, and the label "Made in Germany" was a

population of our cities. Well, those statistics did not match the
recent statistics of Germany. Her old cities took on youth and grew
faster than any American cities ever grew. Her old industries opened
their eyes and saw a new world and went out for its conquest. And yet

satisfied in her methods of competition.
