A poster comes to life. "Never got so close to one of these babies before" says George Woolslayer (right) giving an army jeep the once-over. At the post where Sergeant French L. Vineyard (center) is stationed, Woolslayer learned a great many things about army operations. Aviation-radio Chief John Marshall Evans (left) got a few pointers himself during this tour of the camp which was arranged after the servicemen had visited Woolslayer's steel mill. The three colleagues of the "Men Working Together" poster found that they actually must "work together" for the successful waging of the war. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

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.
