District WPB office speeds war material orders hub
Donald M. Nelson leads war materials output efforts while E. O. Kuendig runs the Canton office opened Jan 19 to serve Stark and 10 counties. In the first half of March orders totaled $800000 with millions more expected as 64 federal agencies issue bids. Local manufacturers visit weekly seeking contracts, bringing blueprints and facility details to the 6th floor Canton Bank building. The office serves as a war contracts clearing house, linking small plants to prime contractors and subcontractors via a weekly procurement bulletin. Manufacturers must autonomously fit into the war picture, with Kuendig and staff offering guidance as needed.
