About

Magazine advertisement: ‘It’s Mail they Want . . . Let’s Give Them Plenty!’ This ad is an example of how many businesses adapted to new wartime needs. V-Mail was a new invention and the government encouraged its use. The Parker fountain pen company adapted by branding their ink as ‘Quink: for V-Mail’ in ‘microfilm black.’
