James Anagnost (above), 929 E. Ann St., wanted to help the scrap salvage campaign: he asked CDVO officials if it would be all right for him to establish a scrap depot. They said, "Sure," so a couple of friends, Victor Sindlinger and Ralph Soaper, helped him to build this scrap/bin, and the neighbors began to fill it up with such items as radiators, kettles and springs. It shows what one man and his friends can do to get in the scrap.
