From the March 8, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"A portion of the building, long known as the "red shop" when occupied by the American Steel Company in DeKalb is to have a new defense industry.
"The assembly of tank tracks is to take place there, a project under the direction of the Northern Illinois Finance Corporation headed by T.E. Courtney. Space in the building, in the year of that used by the Fourth Street Motors, will be used."

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.
