Conservation. Scrap iron and steel. A building truckload of discarded automobiles stripped of all usable parts and non-ferrous materials is delivered to a scrap iron dealer's processing plant in Baltimore, Maryland. This steel will be baled in huge hydraulic presses and sent to steel mills to feed the ever hungry furnaces now turning out steel for the national defense production program
