内容記述・解説/Description:Pete’s parents were amazed / Pete came to America when he was eighteen. / He got a job. Went to night school. Became an American citizen. Was married. Now he’s a foreman—with Republic Steel. / Just before the war enveloped Europe, Pete sent back home for his parents. / When they saw this country, they were amazed. They were amazed at our buildings, our churches, our hospitals, our public schools, our parks. They were amazed at the thousands of cars on the streets—and in factory parking lots. / They were amazed to find that Pete owned a modern home, with good plumbing and hot and cold running water—that he had a radio, a telephone, electric lights, an automobile—that he went to the movies, the ball games—that he said what he pleased, read what he pleased and worshipped as he pleased. They still can’t quite understand all that they’ve seen and heard—everything’s so new, so different. Pete explains that these things are just a regular part of life, over here—but that now, they’re in danger—and that Pete and millions of other serious-minded Americans, in industry, on farms and in training camps are working to protect them. / Like Pete, his parents are proud of the fact that Republic is furnishing thousands of tons of steel for tanks, army trucks, scout cars, guns, ships and airplanes. / They have an added sense of security in the knowledge that Republic has built a great new plant exclusively to produce armor plate—that it is adding new blast furnaces, stepping up steel plate production and increasing electric furnace capacity fivefold—doing everything within its power to enable 71,000 Republic men to make steel and still more steel—the first line of defense for the American Way of Life. / This is a reproduction of an advertisement in the November 15th issue of The Saturday Evening Post
