Tin can alley leads to victory. Save that tin can! Uncle Sam needs it. As vital as iron and steel to the war effort, reclaimed tin is used to make the bushings of airplane motors and machine-gun mounts, and for other war equipment. First step in preparing cans for your government is to remove both ends (or leave attached by no more than one-half inch)

Tin can alley leads to victory. Every precious bit of metal in America's salvaged tin cans is used in the war effort. The complete utilization of discarded cans includes one percent tin and ninety-nine percent steel scrap. Here, carloads of this "black scrap," the leftover steel from the discarded cans, from which the tin has been removed, is being shipped to a steel mill where it will be forged into weapons of war

Tin can alley leads to victory. Third step in household preparation of tin cans for salvage; tuck both ends inside the can and step on it firmly. Don't hammer it flat

Tin can alley leads to victory. Used tin cans, which in normal times would be discarded and forgotten, are transported to a de-tinning plant where they will undergo reclaiming processes. Much of the tin reclaimed from these cans will be used on more cans containing foodstuffs for American soldiers abroad

Tin can alley leads to victory. Next step in salvaging your tin cans is to wash them thoroughly inside and out and remove label. When this can is processed in a detinning plant, enough tin will be reclaimed from it to plate the cannister of a gas mask

Tin can alley leads to victory. They've got a heavy load, but it's one that will weigh a lot heavier on Hitler. These cans collected by door-to-door pickup will be on their way to a detinning plant. The metals reclaimed from them will make vital war equipment

Production. Tin smelting. "Bars" of pure tin are trimmed and cleaned before removal from the molds in which they were formed in a Southern smelter. All the trimmings are returned to the "pot boilers" for remelting. The plant, finest and most modern in the world, extracts the pure metal from South American ore

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Stocks of partially completed lengths of seamless copper tube in many sizes. These have still to go through several more draws through dies on drawbenches. Each draw reduces them in diameter and wall thickness, and lengthens them out. Then, before the tubes leaves the mill, the ends will be sawed off straight and clean.
