This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed for the October, 1941 issue. Although America was not yet at war, Europe was...and we only have a limited number of these hard to find advertisements available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
NATIONAL DEFENSE
AND THE
"PRESTONE" ANTI-FREEZE SHORTAGE
THE RAW MATERIALS used in making "Prestone" anti-freeze are fil.st-line defense
necessities. Thousands of tons of these raw materials which, under normal conditions,
would go into "Prestone" anti-freeze for the public's use, are now being diverted to
manufacture vital defense equipment of many different kinds. In fact, some of the uses
to which these materials are being put were born in the laboratory but a short time ago.
In addition, great demands are being made on the finished product, "Prestone" antifreeze.
Liquid-cooled tanks and reconnaissance cars . . . fighter planes and gun tractors
. . . trucks and staff cars . . . must be protected. The cooling systems of our Speedy
patrol torpedo boats must be safe from freeze-up and lay-up.
The Army and the Navy . . . for years large users of "Prestone" anti-freeze . . .
now need unprecedented quantities of this dependable winter protection. Their
orders must be filled.
Although millions of gallons of "Prestone" anti-freeze will he available to
American motorists... although production facilities have been increased to the
utmost . . . your dealer may not be able to supply you in this emergency.
To the millions of motorists who every year rely on "Prestone" anti-freeze, we
say:-See your dealer early. Late comers who wait for cold snaps may be disappointed.
