About this Vintage Print Ad

This advertisement by Anaconda highlights the importance and versatility of copper, brass, and bronze, especially during times of high demand such as war. It uses the analogy of how much copper is needed for a subchaser compared to Star sailboats to emphasize the scarcity and essential nature of these metals. The ad reassures that Anaconda is prioritizing military and essential needs, and underscores the unique properties of copper and its alloys.
