Pliofilm was a clear plastic (rubber hydrochloride) developed by Goodyear, used for wrapping and storage (and clothing!).  They made a great series of ads, of which I've found barely half.  If you discover more (there's another similar series of which I have only 2, as well), please let us know.

Herewith, their A-Z series from the mid-1940s (1946-48).  Or rather, B, C, D, F, G, J, L, M, O, P1, P2, R, S1, S2, W, & X.  Not surprisingly, they were straining with "X". ;D

ETA: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] noluck_boston for tracking down A, C2, and M2! :)

I'm a lawyer, but I have never once been tempted to try this.

1941 ... pens of national unity!

See even then, people were jumping on the "Over-Patriotic" bandwagon.

I wonder if that could be a weekend theme?
