COTTON
To Keep 'Em Rolling
You're Sgt. John Doe, Army Corps of Engineers.
You cussed a blue streak when you found the
river bridge blown.
Now it's your job to do something—and fast.
Supplies and ammunition must get through—quick.
The supply trucks are waiting. You can do it—with
the help of COTTON.
You drag out the pontons—hitch up the air hose,
start the pumps. The long row of rubberized cotton
pontons take shape. Next lay metal spans across the
pontons, lock them together. Your bridge grows.
In a few hours it's ready for traffic. Steel runways
on top, cotton pontons underneath . . . the trucks
start rolling . . . cotton to keep 'em rolling.
! COTTON GROWERS: The goal for \
'51 it 16,000,000 buha. For greater I
production, for greater income, l
