ftthe fish wbn't bite.
Here’s an idea for those days
when you feel like going down
to deal with the fish personally.
Intrepid souls who, with
spear in hand and web on foot,
chase fish in southern waters,
can now increase their range
with aluminum harpoon-guns.
Aluminum is used because
It is light and does not rust.
These are the main reasons
why this metal is so popular,
and why Alcan is busy with
projects which are planned to
increase Canada’s production
to 500,000 tons a year. Alumi
