A poster comes to life. Meet an American soldier of Production. George Woolslayer, thirty-two-years-old, is an experienced welder at one of Allegheny-Ludlum's steel mills. His uniform is a pair of overalls and a welder's mask. Not reveille but a battered alarm clock awakens him six days a week at 6 A.M. There are no service stripes on those welder's sleeves he wears, but his part in the winning of this war is as important as any front-line soldier's. George Woolslayer is out to win the battle of the home front, the battle to keep America's soldiers on the fighting front supplied with the weapons of war. Allegheny-Steel, Pittsburgh

War alarm clocks. 1,700,000 of them will be produced this year to meet demand that was normally 12,000,000. Will be distributed by all pre-war alarm clock manufacturers. War alarms are of the hand-wound type, not nearly as durable as pre-war models. The case, about 6 x 6 x 2 1/2 inches, is of molded pressed wood and paper pulp. Mechanism contains only about 1/10 ounce brass and 6 1/2 ounce of steel, compared to pre-war average use in the low-priced alarm clocks of 6 and 13 ounces respectively. For this reason, and since the programmed supply for the year will barely cover the needs of workers in directly war-essential occupations, War Production Board (WPB) has requested that no one buy a war alarm unless it satisfies real need, not merely want, wish, or whim
