1959

Leo Ryan tends the Automatic Screw Machine at Serrick's, a screeching, hot, oily mess of a job that left him exhausted and dispirited. Picture from a full page ad in the Defiance Crescent News, 1959, touting the industries that made Defiance great. Defiance Screw Machine Products (division of the Serrick Corporation) was located on Perry Street in Defiance, Ohio.
