This is an original 1949 black and white print ad for the Climax Molybdenum Company of New York City. The ad writes, "Blind man's buff is an expensive game to play with alloy steels. It is safer to go directly to the steel that will give the best performance at the lowest cost per finished part." The Climax Mine in Colorado produced 3/4 of the world's supply of molybdenum.
