Description

C. G. Randell of Washington, D. C. (left), and A. K. Mackey, Fort Worth, Texas, livestock man. The two men are shown standing in front of an empty wall as Mr. Randell describes the different lengths of wool needed on sheep pelts to line the clothing of U.S. airmen in the armed forces to Mr. Mackey. Many million such pelts are required and Texas sheep men are being urged by Randell to clip their lambs in such manner as to assure the use of the pelts by the Government, thus also assuring the producer of the highest market price for his lambs. Electrolysis takes the kinks out of the short wool, while the skins are treated especially to turn gasoline and oil and to assure protection against fire. Both are holding various pelts of wool in their hands as they discuss. Mr. Randell is wearing a dark suit and Mr. Mackey is wearing a long-sleeve, button-up shirt with a striped tie. Both are also wearing eyeglasses. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram evening edition, May 8, 1942.
