This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed for the July, 1943 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
If that’s what The Luftwaffe is using
. . . our SYNTHETIC RUBBER will beat it!
“To protect aircraft from incendiary fire
the Luftwaffe is using a bullet-punc-
ture-sealing petrol tank built of a composition
of fibre, buckskin and raw rubber,
with an inner lining of thin vulcanized rub-
ber." So the British reported shortly after the
outbreak of war in 1939.
This was vital information to American aviation
engineers. Could Yankee ingenuity devise superior
fire -protection? Goodyear was consulted -since
Goodyear had developed the first successful self-
sealing fuel tank for the U. S. Air Corps at the
close of World War I.
Goodyear chemists pointed
out that this German tank
was not suitable for the
high-octane aromatic gasoline
burned in American
engines; that U. S. fuel
“softened up” rubber far more rapidly than
the lower-test gas used by the Nazis. The real
answer, they advised, was a liner that had proved
its complete impermeability to gasoline-a synthetic
rubber like Goodyear's Chemigum.
That was nearly four years ago. Today all American
battleplanes are protected with fuel tanks
lined with Chemigum or a similar synthetic tanks
so efficient they self-seal bullet holes in a
twinkling-tanks that are saving the lives of
many of our boys.
Unfailing resistance to solvents is only one of the
reasons why synthetics are fast replacing natural
rubber in many usages. Today all the Chemigum
Goodyear can produce is
needed for fuel tanks and
other military purposes.
But the time is coming
when Chemigum's superior
resistance to oxidation and
oil will be available to the
public in tires and other
the quality standard of the
greatest name in rubber.
Good Year
The Greatest Name in Rubber
