Fun pictures over at the Chicago Tribune. Because no one did it better than they did it in Chicago.

McFetridge (left), the Chicago area salvage director for the Office of Civilian Defense, take a few whacks at a pile of illegal slot machines confiscated by police from taverns, stores and roadhouses across Cook County in this July 22, 1942, photo. The slot machines were turned into metal for the U.S. war effort. (Tribune archive photo)
