This is a digital copy of “Home of the WAVES,” a 20-page pictorial booklet about Sugar Camp in Dayton, Ohio, produced by The National Cash Register Company in 1943. NCR had built the camp in 1923 as a summer training school for its salesmen, and in April of that year opened it to the Navy as housing for more than two hundred WAVES. Through captioned photographs, it shows the women’s daily life there: arrival and flag ceremonies, the cottages, mess hall and laundry, softball, swimming and ping pong, and their march down the hill to study at the NCR factories under Lt. Cmdr. R. I. Meader and his staff.
