Missouri Tops U.S. Zinc Production Again in 1973
Missouri regained the national zinc production lead for 1973, with 82,350 tons mined, the highest since 1917. Over half a century since the state led, output rose due to a 33 percent increase and mine closures in New York and Tennessee, with St Joe Minerals Corp. as a major contributor. Prices rose from 14.6 to 20.6 cents per pound in 1973, surging after price controls ended.

Attic Storage Boom In Chicago Suburbs
Chicago suburbs see over three million square feet of attic space converted to standalone mini warehouses. Rates run 2.50 to 3.75 per square foot annually, averaging 18 to 38 dollars monthly for small to large spaces. Targeted at renters and owners lacking attics or basements, the trend helps store boats, gear, and gifts.
