Batman Collecting Paper In 1944

Or put another way:  the reason why golden age comic books are so collectible.  In this post from Four-Color Shadows, Batman, Robin and Alfred star in a public service advertisement encouraging people to donate their waste paper for the war effort.  Although I knew almost everything was recycled during World War II, I did not know all of the military uses for paper explained here.  Many an Action Comics was sacrificed for parachute flares.
