This two-man plant operated at Bay City, Michigan by Jake Sparling, sixty-year-old ex-lumberjack who saw his first lathe a year and a half ago, was named by Donald Nelson to head the list of 1,300 plants enrolled in the war production drive.

Conversion. Food machinery plant. In the background is a cube steak machine, normal product of a New England plant now doing work on various war subcontracts.
