Fisher On Every Fighting Front

1943 ... every fighting front!
I saw this Fisher advertisement on Vintage Ads, and thought it was another good example of companies maintaining customer goodwill during the war, even though they were not producing consumer goods.  I particularly like the lower right portion, where traditional "Body by Fisher" slogan was updated by marking through "body" and changing it to "armament."
