Description
Full title:Mas Hata (left) and Yosh Watanabe (right), Nisei evacuees from the Jerome Relocation Center, are shown here at their work at the E. F. Peoples Fan Shop, where they have been employed as electrical mechanics since May 7, 1943. Both boys are staying at the Y.M.C.A. Mrs. Ruckstuhl, the owner of this electrical appliance repair shop, employed these two boys more or less as an experiment. Before long, they won her full respect and confidence and both employer and employees are entirely satisfied. Mas and Yosh think that the St. Louis people are very cordial and friendly and they have made many friends since their arrival here. St. Louis, Missouri.
