This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed for the February, 1943 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Some good news about Tin we think you should know
It’s no secret that the Japs are
camped on 80% of the world’s
tin supply and that America is
facing a critical tin shortage.
You have been asked to salvage
every single tin can you use-to
save every possible ounce of this
vital war material. But, today,
there is good news about the tin you
salvage-and we believe you should
know that news.
This is it: A new electrical process
makes the tin used in tin
cans go 3 limes farther now than it did before.
Tin plate was formerly made by dipping thin
steel sheets in molten tin. It produced a satisfactory
coating, but used more tin than was really
necessary.
American engineers devised a new method electroplating
the steel with pure tin-and the
result was a coating that required only one third
as much tin.
But the new tin plate had disadvantages. It
was porous and did not provide complete protection
against the acids in certain kinds of food.
Then Westinghouse stepped in.
Our research men and engineers, in co-operation
with engineers of the steel industry, found a
way of using radio waves to heat the dull, imperfect
surface so that the tin fused almost instantly
into a smooth, protective coating.
And the process is fast. A single machine can
turn out enough tin plate in 18 minutes to cover
an area the size of a football field!
This new device is a typical example of electronics
at work-a result of Westinghouse electrical
research and "know-how." Already it, is
being installed in mills that turn out tin plate
for a third of all the nation's food cans.
Naturally, this does not mean that there is less
need for you to salvage your old tin cans. On the
contrary-more than ever, tin is needed to protect
the food supplied to our fighting men all over
the world.
