Advertisement for Monsanto Chemicals "permassan" wood preservation chemical featuring a South Pacific island "chief" named Talugi. Talugi is depicted holding his hand in pain, after a punch launched at a wall failed to show Americans on his island what termites do to wood housing. Having treated the wood with Monsanto's permassan, the wall remained solid. Talugi is not upset, but tells his tribe "See? Americans come prepared even for termites. Think what Japs up against!" The end tag reads "Serving Industry...Which Serves Mankind."
