"Keeping the powder dry...vital job for Mr. Cellophane."

This is an original World War II era ad from the Sylvania Industrial Corporation, "manufacturers of cellophane and other cellulose products since 1929." Here the special cellophane wrap developed in Sylvania's laboratories keeps the powder used in trench mortar ammunition dry in the high humidity and heavy rain of the Pacific jungles.
