Fifth Avenue ittnburgh, Pennsylvania ar Mr. McMahon: Blood plasma is the newest and one of the greatest of medical coveries. It eliminates the need for blood typing because all ma is the same. In powder form, it can be shipped and used in >art of the world without refrigeration. Vfo.'-cifully, medical and laboratory men perfected this new life* technique on the eve of a war in which it may be the means of the lives of thousands of fighting Americans. We are attaching our current advertisement together with a vVsplo of Fiberglas Cloth used in blood plasma kits. The use of Fllerglas as a filtering medium in portable transfusion kits is an unusual and a dramatic application and it spotlights the versatility of this new form of glass which is proving to be of value in many new and useful ways. Also enclosed is a recent article from The Saturday Evening Port. It tells how, for the first time in history, people who stay at ho.ie c .n help win tho war by donatin'* a part of their blood to save a life on a battlefield thousands of miles away. Very truly yairs. C'O'G-CO^JTvr, FIRERGLAS COF^CRATIOM '.Viiliam D. Thackeray Advertising Manager
