Original Toronto Star caption: Champeen Iron Breaker in the state of Ohio is this husky Negro workman's estimate of himself. He is Beverly Clemons, and he grins and sings while he sledges iron for the melting furnace in the courtyard of the Chandler and Price plant in Cleveland, Ohio. Typical of a million jobs U.S. industry is doing to help make the U.S. an arsenal of democracy, is the job being done by this firm, famous for its printing presses.
