SamuelMiller from Lead Man (welding),third shift, to Foreman on thatshift.By Bob WattersCHARLES CITY, IOWA -At firstglance, Dick Hillerts basementappears more like a factory ma·chine shop than the customaryhome workshop. E ve n moreamazing is the fact that Dicksmachines are latgely homemade.It has taken years for him tobuild up his shop, and now thatit is nearly complete, he plans todo some woodworking.Dick, a pattern maker at ourCharles City plant, is particularlyproud of his handmade 24 inchwood and metal turning lathewith 15 different speeds. This latheis similar to those factory manufactured,and he built it over aperiod of years.Time doesnt mean much tohim, but neatness, precision anddetails are of prime importance.His experience many years ago ina machine shop along with hissix years of wood pattern experienceat OLIVER, make Dick a naturalfor such work.Aluminum CastingsMost of the castings Dick usesare of Aluminum, cast at the localaluminum foundry- which useshis wood patterns.He has made an eight inchbench saw, and in his garage hasa four-in-one combination of a12 inch grinder, power hack saw,disk sander and 14 inch saw allpowered by the same motor. Evenmore interesting is the fact thatsome of his parts are salvagedfrom the junk yard, and he fashionshis hand tools with a forgemade out of an old cream separator.Small wonder Amer icans arefamed for their ingenuity withmen like Dick Hillerts who makesomething out of nothing.CHARLES CITY, IOWA- Dick Hillerts, Cha rles City Pattern Maker, demonstratesthe case of his handmade 24 lathe, built over a period of years.3. • April, 1950S~- , ,CLEVELAND, OHIO- Pretty Cleveland keglers are really hitting the maples atTudor lanes Alley these nights. left to right: Edna Kahne, Betty Jones, BarbaraTumbry, and Vivian Kazamek.

National prominence of Springfield in manufacturingdate back to those early days when farm machinerybuilding wa in it infancy, and there i a traditionalfamiliarity with tools and manufacturing among the thousandsof families de cended from the early pioneer . Asin the case of Battle Creek, the history of the company isclo ely related to the municipal development that havetaken place during the last one hundred years.Charles Rutherford- Typical EmployeeCharles H.

Many visitorshave commented that during the winter months Springfieldis just another city. But in Spring and Summer both cityand countryside are delightful. In the Buck Creek area, softshale underlying the harder limestone has washed away inplaces causing huge masses of rock to break away from themain wall. Picture que, overhanging rocks, precariouslybalanced over footpaths along the stream, complement themyriad ferns growing over the rocks and the miniaturewaterfalls which is ue from the hillside crevices.With it population of well over 100,000, Springfield isbetween the large and mall ize, a American cities go.It is also between the hot and cold climates of the country,and between the old and the new.

Nine motionpicture hou e , many fine park , and two museums contributeto the cultural interests of Springfield s folks.From Gristmill to Modern CommunityThe city has advanced far from that early day whenJames Demint, pioneer, erected hi crristmill at the mouthof Mill Run, t o man ufacture grist and firewater for theIndians.
