Continental Steel Corporation
The Continental Steel Corporation was created on June 21, 1927 through the merger of the Kokomo Steel and Wire Company (founded in Kokomo, Indiana in 1901) with the Superior Sheet Steel Company of Canton, Ohio, and the Chapman Price Steel Company of Indianapolis. Among the original eleven directors was John E. Fredrick, who had been an organizer of the Kokomo Fence Machine Company in 1896 and had served on the board of directors of the Kokomo Steel and Wire Company. Fredrick served as first Chairman of the Board of Continental Steel, whose headquarters were established in Kokomo. The Kokomo operations of this corporation, however, continued to employ the Kokomo Steel and Wire name until 1944.〔''Continental Steel--Its Origin and History,''rev. ed. (Kokomo, Indiana: Continental Steel Corporation, 1963), 3-13; "Continental Steel," Kokomo ''Tribune,'' February 23, 1996, D2.〕
==Early operations==

Within a year of its founding, the various plants of Continental Steel employed 2288 individuals, a new bar mill was in operation, and the firm was preparing to produce its first steel. Continental Steel would become at one time the largest employer in Kokomo, with a workforce approximating 3000 at its peak. In 1929 the construction of a sheet rolling plant and sheet galvanizing units at Kokomo were authorized, with production in the sheet mill beginning that summer.〔''Continental Steel,'' 15-17; Kokomo ''Tribune,'' July 27, 1929, 9.〕 Continental was able to surmount the rigors of the great depression of the 1930s, and in 1936 its stocks, listed on the Chicago Stock Exchange since 1929, were admitted on the New York Stock Exchange. Its earnings for 1935 had reached over one million dollars, with total assets valued at more than $18,000,000.〔''Continental Steel,'' 17-20; ''New York Times,'' March 26, 1936, 37.〕 During the Second World War Continental produced large tonnages of barbed wire, nails and sheet steel for military use, and it provided material for products manufactured by defense industries. These included aerial bombs, fuel containers and landing mats for air strips.〔''Continental Steel,'' 20-21.〕
