American Metal Market

History

It was in 1882, as this whirl of industrialization was in full swing, that William I. Russell, a leading metals broker specializing in tin, launched a four to six-page weekly tabloid newspaper called the American Metal Market. His goal: To provide accurate information on the prices of many nonferrous metals, pig iron and iron bars. Price tables were the main component of the paper. He also wanted to disseminate brief pieces of news relating to metals, especially in the environment of growing demand by industry.
