NOVEMBER 22, 2016-- BOXCAR BROWN 1942: December 1942. "Research laboratory worker at Chicago & North Western's 40th Street Yard examines paint samples used on freight cars and coaches of the railroad." By Jack Delano, the "Train Guy," OWI. Have to keep those trains looking good and provide a canvas for the graffiti folk.
NOVEMBER 24, 2016-- FLORIDA ICE: February 1943. "Jacksonville, Florida. Street scene in the Negro section." Gordon Parks, OWI.
Even with the war on, people still needed to keep items cold in their ice boxes. Many people did not have refrigerators yet.

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.
