Guards for the synthetic rubber plant built on old Wertz Field in Charleston, West Virginia. The factory required so many guards because of it's high importance to the nation during war time. Rubber was one of the most important commodities during the war and because most of our supplies of it had been cut off we had to build our own synthetic rubber plants, which needed lots of protection.
