A printed advertisement for Plastoid Putty, it reproduces a set of federal buildings in Washington, D.C., presented as sites where the product was used. The halftone was run in the April 1937 issue of *The Federal Architect*, a trade publication aimed at the government architects and builders who oversaw public construction. Washington was then in the middle of a major federal building program, and manufacturers of building materials often used such buildings as proof of their products' durability. The record's details are unverified, so the specific buildings and the claims made about them are best checked against the magazine itself.
