| Description | Lot-9430-7: Heroes in America’s “Battle of the Factories”. In this war, the man at the lathe is as much a fighter as the man at the gun-breech or the bombsight. For, more than ever in history, it is war of machines, a war of production, a war being fought in the factories as well as on the battle fronts. When the United States entered the war, American industry was a promise to the United Nations – a promise of production so great that it was scoffed at by the Axis as being fantastic. But today, industry after industry is beating this promise. And this great record has been possible only through the heroic efforts of soldier workers. Here, in one of the nation’s war factories, the American Brass Company, Captain Robert Henderson, of the U.S. Navy, awards three of the workers the Navy “E” button for excellence. Shown: Another worker hero, Frank Waldron, receives praise and a Navy “E” for his good work as a brass worker. To his credit are 38 years of faithful services with the company. The Navy also awarded the excellence insignias to the company’s three plants. Office of War Information Photograph, 9-11 May 1942. Original photograph is small. (2015/12/18). |
