Just a little while back, expert machinist John H. Williams and his two sons, Edvard and John, were working together at Studebaker. Today, they're still working together in spirit — but many miles apart. The father is building Wright Cyclone engines for the mighty Boeing Flying Fortress in the Studebaker factory. The boys have hung up their working clothes to put on the fighting uniforms of Uncle Sam. Two on the firing line — one on the production line – each still giving "more than he promised" – each doing everything he can do to make victory sure. There are many fanilies such as the Williams family whose names shine brightly these war days on the Studebaker roster — families that are steadfastly maintaining the great Studebaker father-and-son tradition at home or far away. And when the fighting job is done, that tradition will be carried forward, you may be sure, in finer Studebaker motor cars and motor trucks than ever for civilian use. The solid principles upon which Studebaker craftsmanship has been founded will remain unchanged.
Craftsman father of craftsmen sons – John H. Williams, father of soldiers Edvard and John, has been with Studebaker 21 years. He is one of many Studebaker veterans whose aptitude for fine work influenced and inspired their sons to become Studebaker craftsmen, too. Every Studebaker employee is proud of his organization's assignments in the arming of our Nation and its Allies.
