War Production Board Has Requested Clinton and This Community To Begin Immediately a Campaign To Salvage Every Piece of Tin From Homes, Premises, Restaurants, Hotels and Institutions! First Collection to be Made Under Auspices of Chamber of Commerce Follow these Official Intructions by the War Production Board! Nearly ninety per cent of America's tin formerly came from Malaya. And tin is vital to the war effort — for airplane parts, machine gun mounts, gas masks, countless other military uses! That's why Uncle Sam needs your old tin cans. Read the simple instructions below and co operate with your Salvage Committee, Defense Council, and Municipal Author ities to help make the salvage of tin cans a big success in your community. Important Facts to Help You! All paint, oil, varnish, floor polish, or cone-shaped cans are not wanted for sal vage. Evaporated or condensed milk cans are not worth saving. Put these in your trash. Coffee cans and others with painted- on-can labels are wanted. It is not necessary to wash off the small amount of glue which holds labels. BE PATRIOTIC! Keep this leaflet in your kitchen for handy reference. START SAVING CANS NOW! Properly "prepared cans" are clean and fit solidly into a basket or other con tainer. PLEASE Prepare Your Cans In the Way Pictured Below... If They Are Sent In UNPREPARED They Must B<e Thrown Away, As No Facilities Are Available For Mass Production. Clean can well and soak off libel # Cut off both ends and flatten firmly Tuck cut-off ends in can Save in separate containen and Eive to an auttnrized collector UNCLE NEEDS YOUR TIN! Why Prepared Cans Are Needed! 1. Washing prevents deteriora tion of tin coating... Assures sanitary condition—and pre vents contamination of de- tinning fluid. 2. Removing top and bottom or opening top and bottom and tucking the flaps inside will permit the free flow of detiiining fluid over all sur faces of the can. - 3. Flattened cans occupy less space in collection shipment, and detinning operations; thereby decreasing handling costs and increasing plant capacity for tinning. NOW...
