Washington, Aug Determination
of the business records of about 2651

Ready Market for Tin Foil in Small
IotA

| C. E. Poster. Director of the newly
organized Salvage department of the
Mountain Division, announces that
arrangements have been perfected
whereby ready market awaits all
tin foil Heretofore is has been diff
ficult for small Red Cross organiza-
tions to dispose of their salvaged tin
foil, as lead dealers were not willing
to accept the material in small guam
titles. A hundred pounds or more
was the least that would be pur-
chased.
The Bogue Wensley Lead company,
a Denver concern, has patriotically
agreed to accept tin foil in lots of
% pounds or more. Under this ar
rangement it will be necessary, Di-
rector Poster explains, to ship only
on certain days. Shipping dates will
be designated by the Director,
through ARC RAYS. The first ship
ping date will be announced in two
or three weeks, thus affording plenty
of time in which to prepare the tin
foil for consignment.
Under no circumstances shall tin
foil be shipped to Division head
quarters.
1t is a good plan to keep, the va
rious classes of foil separated, as
there is difference in the lead con-
tent and corresponding difference
in the price paid. There are four
kinds of foil-tin foil. lead foil, al
uminum foil and what has been
known as German foil. Tin foil con-
tains much tin. 1t is the common
bright foil found in cigar boxes, etc.
Lead foil is thicker and heavier and
of dull finish. 1t is used in, packing
tea, for tooth paste holders, as bot
tie tops and for similar purposes.
Aluminium foil is much lighter than
either of the two foils mentioned. 1t
is shiny and easily broken or cracked
when crumbed in the hand. German
foil is light in color and makes no
noise when crumpled 1t usually is
classified with lead foil by the dealers.
Foil should not be rolled into balls.
1t should be saved fiat and shipped
fiat.
