reesetee commented on the word the civilian respirator
From verso of card: "This respirator consists of a face-piece, to which is attached by means of a rubber band a metal box containing filters which will absorb all known war gases. . . . When the respirator is properly fitted and the straps adjusted, it completely protects the eyes, nose, mouth, and lungs. . . . This respirator will be issued free to the public."
