4. Palmer, Alfred T. A poster comes to life. The three men tour one of the mill yards. In the background, to the immediate right of the freight car, is a portion of a scrap pile. Immediately behind Sergeant Vineyard is a pile of limestone and slag. In the background, to the sailor's right, are piles of iron heaped high. All of these materials are destined for the steel furnaces, where they are used in varying quantities to make the many varieties of steel needed by our armed forces.
