VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement presents a clever play on the wartime practice of obliterating signposts to confuse potential invaders. The image shows a crossroad signpost with its directions blanked out, accompanied by a poem that hints at wise individuals still knowing which way to go despite the lack of clear guidance. Below this visual metaphor, the ad promotes BIRMAL as the right direction for light metal castings in aluminum and 'Elektron' (magnesium) alloys, suggesting that savvy customers would inherently know to choose their services without explicit signs.
