Mount Rushmore Completed

Back in September 2009 (I've been doing this blog for that long?), I posted a 1933 article from the Modern Mechanix blog about the beginnings of the Mount Rushmore project.  Low and behold, I came across this December 1942 issue of Mechanix Illustrated, also on Modern Mechanix, about the completion of the giant monument.
