These two 10' by 4' gilded sculptures of two idealized, heroic size men are allegorical representations of industry and agriculture. Bare-chested Industry is stand while looking over his left shoulder. His right forearm is resting on an unseen support. In his right hand is a sledge hammer with the hammer on the ground and his hand on top of the handle. Bare-chested Agriculture is standing while looking over his right shoulder. He is holding scythe in his right hand and and gesturing at four stalks of wheat with his open left hand.

The sculptures were created by German-American sculpture Carl Paul Jennewein in 1937.
