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. 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. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A poster comes to life. Almost dwarfed by the ladle which pours molten steel into ingot molds below, Sergeant Vineyard, George Woolslayer and Chief Evans stand in awe of the giant machine which processes steel into armaments. Woolslayer sums it up like this: "We're making the stuff for you to fight with to protect us." Thus America's men and her machines work together for victory.

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. "I've been waitin' for this moment," said George Woolslayer, as he shook hands with his poster-model colleagues, Sergeant Vineyard and Chief Evans, "and I'm mighty proud." Although Woolslayer was somewhat more voluble than his service friends, all of the men admitted to being thrilled at the meeting. None had met before. It was the soldier's and sailor's first visit to a steel mill and they watched the operation with interest and laid down a continuous barrage of questions. Working on a rush order, Woolslayer was not able to leave his job to meet the other two at the station as had been originally planned. Introducing the men is Robert Foster (second from left).

Production. Parachute making. There is far more to hemming this parachute than running the sewing machine. The operator must match pencil marks on the braid with pencil marks on the seams to turn out infallible parachutes for men in the Air Force. Pioneer Parachute Company, Manchester, Connecticut

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (vicinity). Montour no. 4 mine of the Pittsburgh Coal Company. Stockpile of timbers for the mine

Tire recapping. A recap job on a passenger car tire. The tire with a tread strip of reclaimed camelback rubber is put into a curing mold. The old tread surface had previously been ground down evenly and coated with rubber adhesive. The plan to recap passenger tires with reclaimed rubber camelback, approved by rubber director William M. Jeffers, was put into effect in February 1943 to reduce the demand for replacement tires and still keep civilian cars in service

In time of war there is no excuse for carelessness, and it is carelessness that is responsible for the loss of most tire mileage. Running into a curb can mean a break in the tire wall, or at least a weakening. Blowouts are more apt to occur when these sidewalls are in bad condition

Latest addition to D.C. War Housing Program. Bulldozer grading the grounds of Wake and Midway Halls, now being completed by Samuel Plato, contractor, for 1,000 Negro women war workers in Washington, D.C

Fort Knox. Maintenance of mechanized equipment. Army trucks and other vehicles at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are checked thoroughly, and at regular intervals. Wherever possible, motorized military equipment is maintained in constant tip top shape, instantly ready for strenuous action

Production. Jeep engines. This grinding machine in a Midwest plant is doing yeoman service in the production of jeep engines for the Army. Continental Motors, Michigan

Steel production. More iron for steel production. Hot molten metal flows from the tap hole into a trough at a big Eastern blast furnace is cast. Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation. Farrell, Pennsylvania

Priorities unemployment. No more money. John Jones, silk worker, is a victim of "priorities unemployment." It might have been James Smith, rubber worker. It might have been anybody. The "priorities unemployment" is part of a process of changing over, of retooling. And it's a temporary part, in most cases. Defense industries are expanding. In the long run, the defense program will make more jobs than it will break. It has already created 4,000,000 new jobs and there will be 2,500,000 more by April 1942. Production skills are needed for defense, John Jones'skills, James Smith's skills. How does "man meet job?"

Tennessee Valley Authority. Construction of Douglas Dam. Inside the log cofferdam of TVA's new Douglas Dam on the French Broad River. This dam will be 161 feet high and 1,682 feet long, with a 31,600 acre reservoir area extending forty-three miles upstream. With a useful storage capacity of approximately 1,330,00 acre feet, this reservoir will make possible the addition of nearly 100,000 kilowatts of continuous power to the TVA system in dry years and almost 170,000 kilowatts in the average year
