History- Macmillan Oil operated primarily in the south and west of the United States. The company is credited with developing the first composite can in the 1940s due to the lack of metal during the war. The company’s head office was in Long Beach, California.
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition.
You can pick this up in Porters Lake. I do go into northend Halifax once a week during the lunch hour and could meet you there if that is easier. Follow us on Twitter @AntiqueAds1 and on Facebook (facebook.com/Antique-Advertising-959094284105107/?fref=hovercard).
