in Production of War Materials
® For nearly three years, we at Ross Adseal, Inc., have been turning out small—but vitally needed —materials used in war. In the beginning, productiog was on a small scale. It was necessary to retool... install new, and heave ier machinery . .. buy new equipment in order to turn out the seven all-important steel units that comprise the set of “hardware” used on safety belts for our Army and
Navy fliers. The air forces refer to them as “lap belts. $
Manufacture of these units is a far cry from our peaces time production of vitreous enamel name plates for cae manufacturers and makers of household appliances.
As the demands increased, with the stepped up tempo of the war, so did war production at Ross Adseal, Inc. There were, and are, other miscellaneous war jobs going through the shop at all hours. Production on all war work has been keeping up with the demand.
Modestly enough, we at Ross Adseal, are proud of ous production record, and proudly, we acknowledge receipt of the Army-Navy “E” flag, symbolic of “excellence of performance in production of materials needed for war,”
