General Electric men and women—thousands of them! Four
typical scenes show the spirit with which they are tackling the
grim job of 'producing for war!
BETHLEHEM STEEL COMPANY
4. And day and night—around
the clock—G-E workmen keep
steadily at the most important
job of building weapons and sup-
plies for U.S. fighting men!
A sign chalked by a G-E work-
in on a big machine being built
war. The sign carried this
allenge to fellow workers:
lemember Wake Island!”
General Electric believes that its first duty as a good
citizen is to be a good soldier.

required in the first World War. Comparable speeding up has
been achieved on other types of ships and the schedule is being
constantly stepped-up.
Expanding old yards, building new ones, tripling employ-
ment in a year’s time, training thousands of new men, putting
every effective facility to use, adopting pre-assembly and mass
production methods—all these spell tonnage and more tonnage,
a steadily-mounting output of ships from Bethlehem yards.
All hanefe are doing their utmost for Victory, working to
achieve the maxjmum for the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Mari-
time Commission, so that the “bridge of ships” shall be main-
tained and steadily enlarged.
Bethlehem ship production this year will represent the greatest
all-round shipbuilding output by any company in the history of the
country.
Speed, speed and more speed is the constant objective; and
always speed with quality, for a jerry-built ship is virtually
useless in the grim tasks of maritime war.
The first Liberty ship which recently discharged supplies at
a Red Sea port was built- in a yard that was virtually non-
existent a year ago. A tanker was delivered in 100 days from
laying of keel. A battleship will be delivered 14 months ahead
of schedule.
Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the time
Thousands of employees, only
\ after war declaration,
atherecl in mass meetings in
it major G-E plants to pledge
-out war effort!
2. Almost 85 per cent of all Gen-
eral Electric employees signed
up to buy U.S. Defense Savings
Bonds totalling more than
$20,000,000 a year!
