Advertisement for Ethofoil, a film development of Ethyl Cellulose manufactured and marketed by the Dow Chemical Company. The advertisement details the application of Ethofoil to produce durable packaging resistant to moisture, sunlight, and temperature changes. A close-up view of a woman's hand holding a clear plastic container, presumably made from Ethofoil, provides visual evidence of these characteristics.
