The Finish That Begins


In the 1930s and 40s, Gilbert Paper ran a series of quite classy ads in national business magazines to sell their bond papers.  Many of these were reminiscent of Norman Rockwell's illustrations - office or schoolroom scenes, for example.  Then, when World War II began, the themes changed more to freedom and the fight we were undertaking.  This early ad from a 1939 Fortune magazine was somewhat more unusual in that it gave the public a glimpse of how the paper was processed.
