Early PSF: World War 2 V-Mail - Part 4 (Last) - Product advertising with V-Mail references

Posted by John Danza on November 7, 2009, 10:40 am

There was quite a bit of product advertising that encorporated V-Mail into the ad as a way to encourage its use. In some cases such as the Emerson Electric ad, the company explained why their products would be in short supply and that consumers should take care of the products that they have until the war is over. I think it's a fabulous show of patriotism.

1944 Emerson Electric

1944 New York Central

1945 Martin Aircraft

1944 Hart Schaffner & Marx

1944 Gaines dog food. This one is a bit self-serving, but it's pretty funny too.
