Excerpt from Krupp's Steel Works As we mentally review the industrial exploits of this man, it seems to us that his monument standing here before the town-hall is scarcely amid its proper surroundings. Large and small shops are on both sides of it, but none of his giant chimneys. Only the more observing visitor will even here detect the proximity of the great factory low thuds, now and then a muf¿ed detonation, and the yellow and grey clouds of smoke which ¿oat through the air, revealing its nearness. Following the crowd, and turning to the east, we descend a busy street well set with gay shop windows, cross a square shaded by linden trees, and find ourselves on Krupp's territory. His hotel, its adjoining garden, the picturesque wooden structure of the Casino, the gymnasium and fencing-hall for the use of employés, are on the left on the right stands the large industrial school, straight ahead lies the ever busy market, and the Krupp slaughter-houses, beyond them is the forest of smoking and steaming chimneys.
