    I'd love to know what company built those Hudson "Step-Down" bodies on the trailer there! Briggs, maybe?

    An M-4 Sherman tank crew in training at Kentucky's Fort Knox
    in 1942 bust out a proud grin for a photog of the U.S. Office of
    War Information. This photo is in the U.S. Library of Congress
    and is in the public domain. Photos like this depicting the day-
    to-day human struggles to win WWII are a real national
    treasure! Thanks to the WikiMedia Commons project where
    I located this keen image!

    This is a 1945 poster done under the auspices of the U.S. Office
    of War Information to promote war bond and stamp sales for
    the seventh war loan. Artist C. C. Beall based the poster painting
    upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo by Associated Press photo-
    grapher Joe Rosenthal of the second flag-raising by U.S. Marines
    on Mount Suribachi on the Pacific island of Iwo Jima, Feb. 23, 1945.
    This poster is part of the World War Poster Collection at the
    Universtity of North Texas Libraries. Sincere THANKS to them
    for this fine WWII-era image! Thanks, too, to Wikipedia where
    I found the link to this poster collection.

    19-year-old Pfc. Ira H. Hayes of the American-Indian
    Pima Tribe prepares for a jump in U.S. Marine Corps
    paratroop training in 1943. Hayes was one of the five
    marines in the Pulitzer Prize-winning lwo Jima flag-raising
    photograph upon which the poster above was based.
    (His heroism, decorations and sad end were the subject
    of a hit song by Johnny cash, BTW.) Taken by a corps
    photog, this photo is protected in the U.S. National
    Archives, College Park, MD, to whom gratitude is gratefully
    extended!

    From the U.S. Library of Congress collection, James M. Flagg's
    original painting of "Uncle Sam" was titled "What Are You Doing
    for Preparedness?" and first appeared on the cover of the July 6,
    1916, issue of the popular magazine, Leslie's Weekly. Adapted
    as a recruiting poster for WWI, some four million copies were
    printed in 1917 and 1918, and Flagg's rendering saw new life
    during World War II. Thanks to Wikipedia for the link to this
    historic image!

    From the Library of Congress archives of the Farm Security
    Administration and Office of War Information, this pic was
    taken by Howard R. Hollem in February 1943. Doing final
    checks and prep for delivering this fuel truck to the air force
    are 41-year-old widow Helen Ryan (cap) and Agnes Cliemka,
    23. Pre-war, Ryan had worked in a Milwaukee show factory,
    Cliemka as a department store clerk. Her brother was already
    at war, and her husband was set for assignment. THANKS
    again to Wikipedia for the link to the Library of Congress
    photo collections!

    John Vachon took this 1942 photo of a worker at a carbon
    black plant in Sunray, TX, for the Office of War Information.
    THANKS to the U.S. Library of Congress AND to Wikipedia
    for the link to the Library of Congress. Carbon black was
    a critical war-production commodity, especially for making
    artificial rubber products, and tires in particular.

    Love the picture but I don't think they were rationing smokes in the 1920s.
    The ribbon on her mink coat says 192?
     
  25. The photo details say "midgets-for-coolidge" so she might not have been a child.

    Anyway she probably died of lung cancer at an early age if she didn't kick the habit.........
