Six stages of fat salvage. Separated from the soap, crude glycerine is purified and repeatedly tested by chemists. The housewife's tablespoonful of fat is now almost ready for the fighting fronts. When 98.6 purity has been achieved, glycerine is sent to ammunition plants, munitions plants, plant factories
Conversion. Rendering of household fats. Valuable fats from waste household greases are recovered by a pressure process in an expeller at a rendering plant. These fats drain into a settling tank and are later drawn off into tallow storage tanks, from where they are conveyed to a soap plant for the making of soap and glycerin
Six stages of fat salvage. Saponification of fats makes glycerine. Glycerine makes explosives and camouflage paints. In this giant soap kettle, in a great industrial plant, fats become soap. When salt is added, the liquid part of this mixture will drop to the bottom of the kettle. That liquid will soon become glycerine

Six stages of fat salvage. Shipped in metal drums, the glycerine is no longer recognizable as waste fat. Its nitric and sulphuric acids are added, it becomes deadly nitroglycerine for explosives. When gylcerine is allocated to one of our allies, it is usually shipped in its harmless state
Six stages of fat salvage. Save a little fat from the roasting pan, as movie star Janet Blair is doing. When edible fats should give all possible nutrition before salvage, just a little can be taken from the pan before gravy is made. To meet war needs each housewife must save one tablespoonful of waste kitchen fat each day
Conversion. Rendering of household fats. Reclaimed household greases from America's kitchens drain into an open vat at a rendering plant. Some of the batches are recooked with additional fats to bring them up to certain specific grades

Conversion. Rendering of household fats. Tallow made from reclaimed kitchen greases is pumped into a tank car from a storage tank at a rendering plant. From here the tallow goes to a soap factory where glycerin is produced as a byproduct of the soap- making process
