Have You a Man
in this War ?
In other times you would say he was just
a big, husky kid. He ought to be excited
about football, dates and dances.
Why just the other day he was a tow
headed youngster showing off his muscle
...joining the Boy Scouts, running errands
for mother.
Now... well, he has got a man’s work
to do.
N0w...t0 all the oppressed people,
he is the Hope of the World...the shining
symbol of the glorious day when men and
women everywhere may walk again with
heads uplifted... unafraid.

The Bibb people know what it means
to have a man in this war. Fifteen hundred
sons, brothers and husbands fifteen hun
dred of the Bibb men have gone to war.
And ten thousand Bibb workers are
determined to do their part to see that these
men and their comrades-in-arms have the
right equipment—WHEN THEY NEED
IT—and PLENTY OF IT.
They are proud to be in an industry
which is second only to steel in its vital
importance to the war effort.
They know that THE 8188 is produc
ing more textiles for war than any other
mill in the United States.
