1945 BF-Goodrich Tires Ad on ebay

This ad with women sipping tea while soldiers push through thick mud just expired on eBay, but will likely be relisted. It seems a bit unfair to women, as if they didn't know a war was going on. I would imagine that most women likely were the main food shoppers and had to deal with shortages beyond just rubber.

uhh , my mother was a NAVY WAVE during WW2 -- i dont she ever went overseas , but she did serve , i think at NAVAL AIR STATION CORPUS CHRISTI , TEXAS ? -- she probably drove WILLYS or FORD JEEPS on the base there ? ? -- my father said she was quite a looker - she won the base beauty pageants -- then theres something about her working with GENERAL ELECTRIC on the MANHATTAN PROJECT ? -- i'm sure she had no idea what she was building -- of course my father was at PEARL HARBOR 1941 on the USS ENTERPRISE and thats another long AND HEROIC story ...
