Made in America
- 1947
Color print advertisement for Styron, the trade name for Styrenic plastics historically manufactured and sold by the Dow Chemical Company for a variety of consumer applications. The advertisement features a photograph of a small plastic chest of drawers decorated in what is described as a "Chinese" style. Chinese characters translating to "Made in America" (美 國 製 造) are seen on the left-hand side. The accompanying text describes the features of the chest and contrasts the work of "a painstaking Chinese craftsman" with mass-production techniques enabled by plastics.
