Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the Submarines they were responsible for building during World War II. The ad has a picture, which was a copy of a lithograph they were sending out during the war, of one of their Submarines underwater shooting a torpedo. The ad, rather than talk about it’s product, devoted most of the text to talking about the above-average men who volunteered for duty on equipment like this. The headline calls them the “Pride of the Fleet!” and encourages men that if you “Want ACTION? Sign on a Sub!”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
