PHOENIX METAL CAP COMPANY 1938 universe glass screw top vintage ad

Original vintage magazine ad, PHOENIX METAL CAP COMPANY of Chicago, IL. and Brooklyn, NY. The largest thing in the universe is the invisible component of the double star Epsilon Aurigae. It is located in the constellation of Aurica, near the first-magnitude star Capella, 3000 light years distant from the earth. Despite its almost unbelievable size, Epsilon Aurgae was not discovered until 1938 by Yerkes Observatory. Once must draw a long and rather vague simile to compare the invisible E A with anything in this visible world of ours. But getting down to earth we find there are a number of features of the Phoenix C T Cap also invisible to the human eye. Not to be outdone by those scientific gentlemen who see the unseeable, we are able to demonstrate with graphs and photographs that the C T, as made by Phoenix, applies smoother, seals securer and comes off easier than the average screw cap. And that is why the Phoenix C T Cap has always been considered tops in its own small universe! Old 1938 glass packer industry advertisement. Would look fantastic matted and framed.

Approximate size 8 x 11 inches.
