MR. THOMAS E. MILLSOP Weirton Steel Company ' s president, Thomas E. Milisop, is one of the youngest men in the United States to head a major steel company. His career in the steel industry started when he was a boy just out of school and, except for the period of his mili- tary service during the first World War, he has never been away from it. In addition, Mr. Milisop has had experience in every branch of the steel business. In the actual production of steel, he has worked in the mill, been a salesman, a sales executive, a production executive and an administrator. He has also been connected with a raw materials supplier and a steel fabricating firm. Mr. Milisop Is 48 years old, having been born on December 4, 1898, In Sharon, Pa. At the age of 15, he started to work as a laborer in the open hearth department of the Carnegie Steel Company at Sharon. This was followed by open hearth jobs with the same company at Farrell, Pa., then with the American Steel Foundry at Sharon. When the United States declared war on Germany, Mr. Milisop enlisted In the U. S. Marine Corps. He served as a flier until he was mustered out In May 1919. Later in that year he returned to Sharon and went to work as a riveter with +he Standard Tank Car Company. He remained with this company for five years and was promoted successively to foreman, assistant purchasing agent and purchasing agent. In July 1924, he entered the scrap business with the Rotter-Spear Company of Cleveland, Ohio, where he remained for a year and a half, leaving to return to the Standard Tank Car Company as production manager. Mr. Milisop first became connected with the Weirton Steel Company on December I, 1927 as a salesman. Pro- gressively, he became assistant sales manager, assistant to the president and vice president. In June 1936, following the death of the late John C. Williams, Mr. Milisop was elected president of the company. In addition to Weirton Steel Company, Mr. Milisop Is an executive of a number or other related companies. He is vice president and director of the National Steel Corporation, and president and director of Weirton Improvement Company, Weirton Coal Company, Oak Hill Supply Company and the National Steel Products Company of Hous- ton, Texas. He also is director of the Federal Reserve Bank, Fourth District, Cleveland, Ohio; a member of the American Iron and Steel Institute, and a trustee of Bethany College. Under the leadership of Mr. Milisop the Weirton Steel Company made a distinguished record in World War II. The Company and Its employees stepped far outside the Industry during the war to process magnesium, brass, silver chlo- ride, eight-inch howitzer shells and atomic bomb material after many other companies either refused to attempt the projects or had failed in their attempts. Weirton employees, who did not lose one minute of production time in all of World War II, made war steel in record-breaking tonnages. The company and its employees won three bestowals of the Army-Navy Production Award — the E Flag with two silver stars. Other honors conferred included the Navy Ordinance Development Award. It Is with pride in a distinguished citizen of our State and Nation that we honor Thomas Elliott Milisop.
