Donald M. Nelson speaks on war production

Before a white banner of which only the words ...e it yo... Be... can be read, a broad-faced man with thinning hair, rimless round spectacles, a patterned tie and a dark double-breasted suit sits behind a microphone and speaks directly ahead. The source names Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board, urging speed on the home front. Nelson, a former executive of Sears, Roebuck, directed American war production from January 1942.
