Meet an American soldier of Production. 8b03973v

A poster comes to life. Meet an American soldier of Production. George Woolslayer, thirty-two-years-old, is an experienced welder at one of Allegheny-Ludlum's steel mills. His uniform is a pair of overalls and a welder's mask. Not reveille but a battered alarm clock awakens him six days a week at 6 A.M. There are no service stripes on those welder's sleeves he wears, but his part in the winning of this war is as important as any front-line soldier's. George Woolslayer is out to win the battle of the home front, the battle to keep America's soldiers on the fighting front supplied with the weapons of war. Allegheny-Steel, Pittsburgh

A poster comes to life. The middle man in the poster looks at his image mounted on a wall at Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corporation, wonders what the other two fellows are like, and where they are these days. George Woolslayer, thirty-two-year-old welder, was chosen as a model for this poster when an Office of War Information photographer visited the plant in the fall of 1941. His interest in the soldier and sailor prompted him to write OWI (Office of War Information) asking for information on the servicemen. Result: furloughs wer obtained for the two, who came to the steel mill and saw that "Men Working Together" is the formula by which American soldiers, sailors and workers will win this war. Allegheny-Steel, Pittsburgh

A poster comes to life. "Meet the guys who shoot 'em." George Woolslayer introduces a group of open-hearth furnace men to his poster pals, Evans and Vineyard, who are getting a first-hand view of production for war. Although they knew how to shoot guns and drive jeeps before they came to Allegheny-Ludlum, they're seeing for the first time the kind of Americans who make these things: skilled and semi-skilled workers, tireless men who can work for hours in terrific heat. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A poster comes to life. Welder George Woolslayer meets Sergeant Vineyard's pals at his army post after Vineyard and Aviation-radio Chief John Evans had visited Woolslayer at the steel mill where he is employed. Thus did the three colleagues of the "Men Working Together" poster meet one another and recognize the value of united effort, soldier, sailor and worker, "one for all and all for one" to blast the Axis off the map. Allegheny-Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A poster comes to life. Squinting against the terrific glare and bursts of steam charging up from a strip of red-hot steel which moves slowly past them, Sergeant Vineyard and Chief Evans pause with welder Woolslayer to watch precious river, which comes off the blooming mill and rolls toward the four-high strip mill at Allegheny-Ludlum. They're learning a lot, these servicemen of the "Men Working Together" poster, learning how their lives depend on the production workers of the country, without whose skill and strength the weapons of war could not be forged.
