Phillips Packing Company Army-Navy E Award from World War II

Phillips Packing Company ad for winning the Army-Navy E Award from World War II from the collection of Sally Glynn. It's hard to believe that twelve years after the war's end, Phillips Canning would be no more & part of Consolidate Foods.

I made mention of this award when I talked about Phillips Packing back in 2017, but it's neat to see this ad promoting the award.

Happy Labor Day 2018!

Happy Labor Day 2018 everyone! I'm sharing this photo from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. It's a photo by the famous late Don Wood of a machinist working on a Class K4s (4-6-2). It's not labeled, but it could be in South Amboy, NJ in the early 1950's because that was a place that Don frequented at this time. Either way, what a neat shot (like a lot of Don's photos).
