The Lock that resisted
TEMPTATION

Thieves armed with lock picks or stillson wrenches were
usually wise enough to leave an ILCO severely alone. That's
because ILCO COIN MACHINE LOCKS were built to
resist picking and f orcing.

Dear Mrs. Holdsworth:
Harry Holdsworth and I have been in
the same company for some time and when
I left him May 30th on an island in the
Aleutians he asked me to write you this
note and tell you he is well and safe. Our
island, name of which I cannot divulge, is
a windy wasteland; a pile of volcanic rock
from 6 to 20 miles across and covered wi th
rain·sodden tundra, moss and sticky-slick
mud. The weather is al most universally
bad, consisting mostly of fog, rain and high
winds with snow and sleet during the win·
ter.
The sun shines about once in ten days
and th en is pale and weak with no warmth_
Now the men live in huts but most of
th e winter was spent in tents half·buried
in holes in the hillsides for protection from
the wicked winds which whip in from the
bleak and dreary Bering Sea a t speeds
which often reached 100 miles per hour.
After many monotonous months of back-
bending and blister raising work we trans·
formed the island from an uninhabited,
windy wilderness into a good military base
and a livable camp. Clothing is excellent
and food is good and plentiful but sorely
lacking in variety, being all canned or de·
hydrated.
The isolation is maddening, and there is
not a tree within a thousand mil es. But
it is much safer there than in most other
theaters of the War and you needn' t be
alarmed for Harry's safety.
I am here in a hospital in this co untry
because of asthma which came back on
me in the decidedly unfriendly climate of
the Aleutians_ I'll probably be assigned to
limited duty here in the states.

Dear Mr. Blackford:
It's odd the strange bits of information
one picks up in the Army. For example,
only since I started wearing khaki did I
learn that there was an amazingly colorful
and beau tiful sun·rise at 5:30 in the morn-
ing or 0530 in Army time. I dimly recall
once seeing a sun-light at that hour before
November, 1942, my induction date, but
was too bleary eyed to take much notice.
Now, however, I spend about a half-hour
.each morning observing the beauties of
nature and participating in some athletic
activi ties or doing calisthenics under a
vigorous and boisterous and cheerfully·
lo ud-earful of non-com. This exercise de-
velops an appetite which is no longer jaded
but hungrily eager for the eggs, which are
a staple part of Army diet, and sausage,
coffee, milk and bread and butter which
at 6:15 A.M. seem like delicacies of a pre-
war French chef instead of the concoctions
of a male cook whose only previous
