Zincos and Zipfasteners; advert issued by the Zinc Development Association, 1947 (illustration by John Nash)
An unusual advert in that for a trade association it re-uses an illustration from a published book (in this case one by John Nash in a 'Batsford" book) to show two uses of zinc. The 'zinco' refers to the photozincographic method of reproduction in printing - zinco from zinc plates. The second is a bit more of a chance as the young lady mentioned may be well dressed and may be the clothing does use a zip fastner! The Oxford based Zinc Development Association had two 'siblings' dealing with zinc die casting and zinc pigments.
John Nash (1893 - 1977) was the brother of Paul Nash, the artist, and he was himself an accomplished painter and engraver.
