Marjory Collins, November 1942. Lititz, Pennsylvania. 

"Small town in wartime. Peanut stand next to the Lutz butcher shop finds it hard to get peanuts since the war started. Peanut oil is needed in industry."

"Lititz Springs Pretzel Company, owned by Lewis C. Haines (background), who is unloading a tray of pretzels which has come up on a dumbwaiter from the baking room below. A son, Bob, weighs them and packs them in cans. Lititz was the first town in America where pretzels were made."
