Conversion. Floor waxer plant. The sugar shortage brought this worker back to the lathe. Employed now by a small Eastern manufacturing firm which used to make floor waxers but is now completely converted to war production, this worker had only a trade school course in mechanics taken fifteen years ago as background for his new job. He operated his own confectionery business until the sugar shortage forced him into a new field. But he's glad to be aiming gun-sight parts at the Axis. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania
