WAR WORK


· After Pearl Harbor, the major plant service and skills of R. L. Polk & Co. were at the disposition of the armed services, for war work. Polk was entrusted with two of the largest and most complicated war jobs, for Army Ordnance and Air Corps, requiring tripling of Polk's plant space, plus the services of most of Polk personnel. With Peace, the Polk plants and the Polk skills have been released for the job of helping industries of America rebuild a stronger business structure, and upon these skills will be built a new and even greater Polk organization!
