The Mills organization has been pub-
licized all over Chicago and the whole
United States in a degree much higher
than hundreds of fa ctories many times as
large as ours. The newspapers come to us
for stories, photographers come to us for
pictures; we let them see and meet the
people right on the production line, and
out of th e meeting th e grandest war spirit
you ever saw rears its head and is cap-
tured in print.
One of our war workers received th e
famou s Chicago Tribune award for invent·
ing a machine that puts the copper band
on anti·aircraft shells five times faster than
any machine ever did it before. Another of
our workers fi gured a way to save 54 out
of 56 barrels of expensive oil every day on
a row of cutting machines. Scores of oth·
ers have introduced shortcuts, speedup in-
ventions and methods for increasing war
producti"on and saving critical materials.
They did it out of sheer spirit, and out of
understanding that speed, invention and
resourcefulness are the essentials of Ameri-
can victory.
The first Treasury Minute Man Flag to
be awarded to any firm in Chicago {the
third in the entire nation} was presented
to Mills Indu stries. We had quickly earned
it ; when the governm ent asked for time to
manufa c ~ure it for us and for others, we
offered to make it ourselves; the govern-
ment said "great idea" and ~stabli shed a
new method for alloting this flag. We were
one of the first firm s to earn the 10 per·
cent Treasury Fla/!:, all of our employees
raisin g their payroll deductions for bonds
to a mark over 10 percetlt within two weeks
after being asked. Fred Mills and Ralph
Mills received personal citations from the
United States Treasury for their coopera-
tion. Chi cago had the biggest parade in its
history ; it lasted fourteen hours and boast-
ed fifteen hundred elabora te floats; but the
most elaborate float of all was Mills, and
it led the whole parade in number one po-
sition. It was entirely decorated by the
hands of our own employees.
Ann Marsters, feature writer of the Chi·
cago Herald-American, wanted to go to
work in a war factory to see how women
war workers carried on. The first factory
she worked in was Mills. A Mills girl war
worker reached the finals in this paper's
famous "Miss Victory" contest; and when
the same paper sent ten girl war workers
to Hollywood, a Mills girl was the first one
chosen.
There has always been a saying a t Mills:
"No Mills drive ever failed." Certainly
no Mills war bond drive could ever fail-
with spirit like this behind it! Our girl
workers have one of the most active WOW
{Women Ordnance Workers} posts in the
country. The Chicago Servicemen Center
asked them for cakes; they solicited the
other employees an d brought in 750
scrumptious and mouth-watering cakes in
a single day; they were asked for Books
for the Yanks and they gathered up 2500
books; the Red Cross appointed them to
solicit blood donors and they brought in
over 50D pints-two full barrels--{)f rich,
warm, and real American blood. The War
Fund Drives, the Red Cross Drives for
money invariably multiply the records of
preceding years; and over a hundred spe-
cial and intimate farewell parties have been
arranged for members of our organization
going into the Armed Services. Our Com·
pany Service Flag has 313 blue stars-no
gold as yet, thank God! And we are in
constant touch with most 'of these men in
service.
The Armed Forces in general have
heard of this miraculous war s pirit and
have visited Mills in person; Barney Ross,
hero of Guadalcanal; Claire Hume, killer
of 69 japs in a single night ; Lt. Bob Hal·
perin, winner of the Navy Cross, first
American to ca pture two prisoners in Afri·
can invasion; Chief Wood, first American
invader of African territory; Dutch Mey-
er, last Red Cross member out over th e
Burma Road ; Lt.-General Knudsen ; Brig-
adier-General Armstrong; Rear Admiral
Evers; and scores of famous and high rank-
ing officers.
It is an axiom of war production that th e
spirit of the worker is invariably the spirit
of their leaders, and undoubtedly the af-
fection of all our workers for Fred, Ralph ,
Herb and Hayden Mills explains in a large
way the remarkable war spirit found here.
The Mills brothers mix with their employ-
