War Production for the Northern Illinois Corporation Upped in 1944

From the March 13, 2019, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1944, 75 Years Ago.

"For the past several days the Northern Illinois Corporation, manufacturing division,  has been working a 24-hour a day schedule following an emergency  order received from the ordinance (probably ordnance) division of the War Department.

"Instructions received from the ordinance (ordnance) department were to step up production at the local plant to the limit.  All of the other employees were called back, but with the shortage of available help at the present time, a number of business men and others have been helping in the assembly lines."
