KWIKSET FIRST IN WEST WITH POWDER METAL-LURGY—This row of Powdered Metal Presses at Kwik-set in the first installation of its kind in the west. This modern method of parts fabrication is now being made available to other manufacturers. At right, photo shows close-up of lock plugs being pressed.* POULTRY and Rabbit Equipment Powder The Powdered Metal Division at Kwikset has brought to the West Coast its first structural powdered metal parts fabricating facilities. The art of powder metallurgy dates back to the Egyptians and was later improved upon by Wollaston, who in 1824 established the classic fundamentals for the modern powder metallurgy technique. At the beginning of the 20th century, the important discovery was made that tungsten powder could be pressed into small billets sintered at a temperature lower than its melting point and then reheated and drawn into wire which is used in the filament for the electric light bulb. With the improvement of the powder metallurgy technique.

DESIGN AND engineering are both integral parts of the service offered by Kwikset's Powdered Metal division, which also includes a growing array of up-to-date equipment, housed in its own building. Two furnaces, powder metal mixers and a complete range of presses, up to and including one of 300 tons capacity are installed. The Powdered Metal division is manufacturing parts such as iron alloy cams for home workshop equipment, brass cylinders and plugs for the lock industry, brass valve handles for welding equipment, and iron alloy parts for the aircraft industries which are being used for the war effort. Although the proven advantages of powder metallurgy have been widely enjoyed in the eastern United States for many years, full usage of the technique will receive appreciable expansion in western industry. Women Being Interested in with a buffet luncheon served. The other day I had an occasion to make a very "small investor's" interest in a company, and almost by return mail I received a per- Women Being Interested in Stock Market By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Newsfeatures Writer Considerable fuss is being made these days in the financial marts about two projects, or maybe it's a two-headed project. The brokerage boys would like to see more "small investors" in the stock market. And they would dearly love to stimulate more interest on the part of women in the buying and selling of stocks and bonds. The motives behind all this are easy to understand. It's obvious—now that the old-fashioned big investor is getting to be a mere avis—that 100 small investors could take his place. So now the guy with a few hundred bucks and a yen to share the business adventures of Coated Yo-yos Co., Inc., for better—not worse—now is a fair-haured boy. By extension of this premises, women are being persuaded that investing is an attractive, sensible way to handle money. Women, it seems, frequently inherit or are given money, and increasing numbers of them are making their own. THERE ARE ALL sorts of signs of this activity. Special courses for women in investment are springing up all over the place, and women are being urged to attend so that they can ultimately amaze their friends with their knowledge, let's say, of "puts" and "calls," whatever they are. Brokerage houses—in the old days more dignified, cold and haughty than private banking institutions—are turning abo- of this activity. Special courses for women in investment are springing up all over the place, and women are being urged to attend so that they can ultimately amaze their friends with their knowledge, let's say, of "puts" and "calls," whatever they are. Brokerage houses—in the old days more dignified, cold and haughty than private banking institutions—are turning absolutely gay, informal and hearty. Gone are the somber furnishings, and in have come colorful decorations, titillating advertisements and a buddy-atmosphere. Customer's men are as engaging personalities as used-car salesmen. ON THE OTHER end of the operation are the corporations themselves, now very conscious of their stockholders as individuals. Just take annual reports. In the old days, they were routinely stark, dull things, almost completely incomprehensible to any but the initiated. They were mostly lists of figures, in small type, broken up by long paragraphs only a lawyer could unravel: Small investors by the hundred, I'll venture, consigned them to the waste-paper baskets along with proxy votes. Today, most annual reports look like magazines, all fancied up with colored pictures, gay little graphs with cartoon figures, dollars cut up like pies, and verbal descriptions of the company's activities which a beginning high school student could understand. They are also promoting like mad the idea that stockholders in a company are just a big happy family. Annual meeting days are the subject of invitations to stockholders, and some of the companies make a party out of it. It also seems complicated, requiring special, inside knowledge and pretty concentrated attention to the subject at hand. If as many people as the brokers think are potential investors—men and women—why isn't the handling of money the subject of high school courses? After all, they teach youngsters such things as cooking, carpentry, basketball, French, English literature, choral singing and that stuff about John's apples, and Ella's boat going upstream at so many miles an hour. Why not give them also an idea what they can do with money once they get it in their pockets. Get 'em young, boys and girls, and the small investor and the woman investor won't be a problem later in life.
