A machinist on the left is having trouble with the machine, and is smoking a pipe and blowing smoke out of his mouth. The young machinist on the right is making a caliper measurement or placing a part on the machine. The signboard on the left reads: "Keep 'Em Rolling, A machinists life has lots of strife, even if you know just what to do. If the job is rough and the goin's tuff, Let a GISHOLT help you through."
Boyum, Sid, 1914-1991
