Factory Remembers Family and Staff During War Time
The community at Batavia Metal Products expresses sympathy for Margaret Holmberg and her family after the loss of her mother Mrs Henry Phillips. Staff share war updates as Roy and Ira Holmberg serve overseas, while Mary Jane Glasco’s husband returns from the South Pacific on a brief leave. The plant marks Thanksgiving with Major General Ditto’s inspection and notes progress on shell production and boiler chimney plans.
