A wartime ad strategy preserves brand recall and market share as war curbs ease.

Canada war economy shows strain and growth in 1940
Canada entered the seventh month of war with projected costs near 500 million dollars for the coming fiscal year, about 12 percent of a 4.1 billion national income. Britain uses 29 percent and Germany 40 percent of their incomes for war. New Dominion Bureau of Statistics figures indicate rising business activity in early 1940 with gains in output and exports, while unemployment falls and service members on leave gain medical treatment at public expense.
