Original banking trade vintage ad for THE CHASE NATIONAL BANK. of the City of New York. You Can Bend that White Oak With Your Hands.  A Mid-West lumber company had a secret process by which lumber is treated in great vats to make it several hundred times more pliable than  normally.  To produce this treated lumber on a wartime scale, the company needed a large part of the country's available supply of heart of white oak.  Chase promptly helped to finance the purchase of needed materials, with the result of more PT boats in action and that much more pressure is brought against the Axis sooner.  Old 1943 World War 2 WW2 era propaganda advertisement.
