CHASE NATIONAL BANK 1943 bend white oak with your hands WW2 vintage ad

Original World War 2 banking financial industry trade magazine vintage ad for THE CHASE NATIONAL BANK of the City of New York. You Can Bend that White Oak With Your Hands. A Mid-West lumber company had a secret process by which lumber is treated in great vats to make it several hundred times more pliable than normally. To produce this treated lumber on a wartime scale, the company needed a large part of the country's available supply of heart of white oak. Chase promptly helped to finance the purchase of needed materials, with the result of more PT boats in action and that much more pressure is brought against the Axis sooner. Old 1943 WW2 era propaganda advertisement.
