"Beauty and the bullets! Attractive Georgia Summers, of 5193 Cabanne avenue, employee at the United States Cartridge Company, operating the St. Louis Ordnance plant, can well be a pinup girl for the armed forces in this photo where she displays the sixth billionth cartridge produced at the plant. The six billion milestone was reached this year and Miss Summers is shown placing the cartridge on display with the previous billion markers."
