In October 1915 the United States Steel Corporation operated near full capacity, with forward orders and war munition demand driving a dramatic upturn. Executives credit early preparation, steady expansion, and strategic plants at Gary and Duluth for the rapid mobilization, while noting 60–65 percent of new business stems from war-related manufacturing.
