Scotch Tape
Three color 9 1/2" x 14" ad that explains one of the more unusual ways this company was helping the war effort. Early in the war there was a fear of the enemy using a Blister Gas which would be dropped from planes flying overhead on soldiers marching below. The chemical engineers designed a pouch that soldiers could carry and pull out and cover themselves up for safety while still continue to march. The pouch was large enough to cover their packs and rifles from this vapor that was capable of burning its way through a soldier's uniform. The seams of this pouch were carefully and completely sealed with Scotch Tape. There is a picture of a soldier wearing one of these pouches and looking overhead at planes with German markings discharging some of this deadly material. The ad does mention that Scotch Tape is doing other things to help the war effort and hopes you will understand the shortage of their products in the store.
