This is a Report to Our Home Town

Residents of the Indianapolis area should have a genuine interest in the operations of P. R. Mallory & Co., Inc., because, as one of the city’s established industries, the Company’s industrial health has a vital bearing on the economic health of the community. As is shown in this report, a large part of Mallory income from sales was spent in payrolls to employes, whose number has increased steadily in the past year. The Company has just submitted its annual report to stockholders and believes the community will be interested in this

brief summary.

Although adherence to the requirements of the Office of Censorship precludes details of production, it may be said that the major part of our sales represented electronic and metallurgical products in a wide variety, all of our own design or development. Production was largely for war purposes. Much was .produced under direct government contract, still

~ more was supplied to other firms engaged in war work.

Mallory manufactures products of precision quality, employed as critical parts in a wide range of induswtrial application. The, close interrelation of our

of - metallurgical and electrical activities has been evident in all of our war production and ‘is highly

significant for post-war participation in the New

“World to come. Electronic applications, for instance,

have great promise for the future and in this field, Mallory products have pioneered.

Although we have considered it our first duty to adapt ourselves to war needs, we have maintained post-war planning as an organized activity with the

idea of insuring the greatest possible stabilization of -

employment when the Peace comes. Wa have endeavored to anticipate the changes of direction which war needs impel and have been fortunate in

blending our production program with government

plans covering the output of whole industries.

Throughout; harmonious understanding with Mallory workers has remained unbroken. Recognition of united effort in war production was first signalized by the Navy “E” Pennant Award on the last day of 1941. The joint Army-Navy “E” Award, on July 18, 1942, entitled the plant td’fly the “E” Pennant

with one star. The second star was won on February:

3, 1943, as recognition of another six months of outstanding production. Few companies have equalled the Mallory record achieved through the wholehearted cooperation of employes.

The Company has carried on a training program to provide skilled replacements for those called into

heavy inroads in all departments and our service flag boasts 442 stars at present. Two of these stars are gold. :

Training courses have been highly successful in developing new skills, especially with women, Women are now operating milling machines, lathes, hydraulic presses, drill presses, punch presses, grinders, screw machines, etc. We have women employed as welders, inspectors, chemists, draughtsmen and X-ray technicians. The rewards for pioneering such training courses in the community have heen

more than worthwhile.

We are particularly prbad of our record in adapting men and women with physical handicaps to skilled production work. Among our skilled workers, we include one who has lost both legs, a few minus legs or hands, one who has a broken neck and is a deaf mute, several with crippled limbs and a number who are deaf mutes. One operator is totally blind, the first instance as far as we know, of a blind person employed in Indianapolis industry. Numerous others with lesser handicaps have been trained to useful work,

Worker morale has been high as indicated by a low absentee record. Numerous activities, some managed entirely by employes, have been carried on for the financial, medical, insurance, recreational and cultural interests of Mallory workers. A modern cafeteria has just been completed at a cost of $60,000. Among other things, the Company sponsored for Mallory employes, a special free concert by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. We are happy that other Indianapolis industries took up this industrial “first” and the success of these concerts has attracted nationwide comment.

All in all, we think that our plant’s reputation as a good place to work never has been better. It is our ambition to strengthen that reputation as we approach the opportunities promised by the post-war.

1942's record is a challenge to meet greater responsibilities in 1943. We are endeavoring to meet that challenge with a tempo of production far in excess of 1942. Mallory workers have a slogan, “Let's Make It More ‘from Mallory.” They are making that slogan a reality every day, counting their efforis on the production fromsasa responsibility which must be carried out with enthusiasm and the will to win a Peace that will stick.

Indianapolis can count on the Mallory organisation to do its duty in 1943. ~~ 4, ; P. R. MALLORY & co. Inc.
