This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed in a 1943 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Now the Army gets it gas through synthetic rubber “sleeves”
Now it can be told how our invading armies are kept supplied with the
thousands of tons of gasoline and oil their
trucks, tanks and airplanes consume in
every day's advance. It is delivered
through a revolutionary new portable pipe
line that can be laid many times faster
than conventional fuel lines.
This speed is possible because the pipes
are neither bolted nor
welded together. They
are quickly joined by a
patented coupling called a "Gruvagrip" -sealed
with a leakproof gasket of Goodyear's oil-
resistant synthetic rubber Chemigum.
This gasket slips over adjoining ends of pipe
like a sleeve, holding them in firm grip. It
is then locked in place by the ``Gruvagrip"
coupling that keeps that gasket from
ballooning under pressure
The joint is Sufficiently flexible to permit
laying the line over rough ground, without
trenching.
Due to Chemigum's impermeability to
gasoline, the gasket does not disintegrate
in contact with high-test fuel, as natural
rubber would. In Africa, these portable
pipe lines delivered upwards of 700 tons
of aviation gas per day to advanced air
Today Goodyear's entire
Chemigum production is required for this
and other military uses. But the day is
coming when there will be enough of this
war tested synthetic rubber to produce
marry civilian and industrial needs that require
a truly oil-resistant rubber
for dependable, lasting service.
Good Year [Goodyear]
