Written on back: "STEEL LIFE RAFT HOLDS 20 MEN - Fully loaded with 20 men and a half ton of supplies, a new type steel life raft built in Los Angeles rides easily in the water. The raft, although weighing 2425 pounds when empty, has so much buoyancy that it sinks only 6 1/2 inches under its maximum load. The raft is equipped with a canopy and frame to provide protection against the sun and to catch rain water. (ADVANCED: For AM's and PM's of Wednesday, May 3)"
