If anyone remembers American Can, at the front entrance it had a tower, which we called it a watchman,s tower because back in the hay days a watchman would sit in there a watch for possible fires etc. They could see the entire roof of the first floor.

When I started with American Can some of the older woman would be on piece work stamping out lid covers for our 50 & 110 LB. cans. Woooow and they were fast. Don't have the person feeding them sheet metal slow them down or else. A tough group of ladies.LOL
