The specially built alumi­ num pie pan — the largest ever made — measured eight feet across. Made us wonder how big a pie you’d get if all the apple pies baked in one day on regular­ size aluminum pans were put together.

No wonder Canada is stepping up her production of this light, bright metal to one and a quarter billion pounds a year! Aluminum Company of Canada, Ltd.
