An original July 18, 1942 Saturday Evening Post advertising tear sheet featuring Goodyear’s wartime production of inflatable lifesaving equipment.


Headlined “We keep ’em FLOATING, too!,” the color advertisement shows women building inflatable boats for naval aircraft. Smaller illustrations depict an airman in a raft and an aircraft afloat. The accompanying copy discusses life vests, flotation equipment, and survival at sea.

The reverse carries a General Electric Mazda Lamps advertisement titled “Who’s a Lightwaster?” Six humorous illustrated panels explain ways to improve lighting and reduce waste at home and in wartime factories. A printed “Steig” signature appears in the artwork.
