Three 1943 cartoons from Ameri-Topics, a newspaper for Amertorp torpedo manufacturer

This is off-topic, but provided by ComicsDC supporter Randy T from some family clippings. And it's cool.

These cartoons are from Ameri-Topics, a bi-weekly newspaper for Amertorp torpedo manufacturer in St. Louise, from August 18, 1943. The cover says "Published in the interest of the employees of Amertorp." Obviously they relate to World War II. 

One is a WWII political cartoon by Fitzgerald. Another is by Rinaldi. There is a strip called Lena and Louie Amertwerp by C.R. Schwartz, which deals with safety in using forklifts. 

"Axis Co-operation" by Fitzgerald in "The Charge"
