From the April 5, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1942. 75 Years Ago.
"The Farmers Implement Company that was located in the former American Steel and Wire Company building on Locust street in DeKalb has moved to the garage which was recently vacated by Arthur Taylor on the southwest corner of Fourth and Locust Streets.
"The move was made so as to make room for the new tank track factory that is to open in the near future. The first floor of the new quarters will be used for the display and repair of farm equipment while the second floor is being used to store new cars that can be sold through rationing.
"Farm machinery can be sold without rationing but dealers are having a tough time getting their orders filled."
The war hits home. A new war factory, car rationing and farm machinery.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
