AMERICA’S MIRACLE IN THE DESERT <br> <br> <br> Magnesium in the miracle metal of World War II. It is the metal which enables man to fly higher and faster, to shoot with more deadly accuracy, to sow flame and desolation on the enemy, It is the metal which brought about the miracle of Basic Magnesium, Incorporated, and is helping to bring about the reality of Victory for the United Nations. <br> Because Nevada has magnesium ares in abundance and because the mighty Colorado River, which skirts about her foot, has been harnessed by Boulder Dam, she no longer lies quietly dreaming among her time-scarred mountains and wind-swept valleys. She has mushroomed into a roaring Frontier For Victory which dwarfs even the fabulous Gold Rush days. <br> Hotel El Rancho Vegas, which has catered to visitors to the desert since B.B. (Before Basic), has watched this “world’s largest” plant grow from scratch...has opened its hospitable doors to the thousands of employees and executives who came seeking food and refreshment and lodging… recreation and relaxation from strenuous duties… and has come to admire and respect all who are a part of such a tremendous project. After the victory is won, this silvery, lustrous element will continue to play its miraculous part in our port-war world. <br> BASIC FACTS: World’s largest magnesium plant operated by Basic Magnesium, Inc., a subsidiary of Anaconda Copper Mining Co. Power- Amount used daily would light a city of 1,8000,000. Water- Would supply the same city with 17 gallons per person. Lumber- Enough to build a city of 40,000. Plumbing- 350 miles of piping than 100 miles long. Excavations- Equivalent to a hole one acre in area and three-quarters of a mile deep: large enough to bury every man in the armed service of the Axis nations, place on top of their grave a block 50 stories high, and still have a pit 30 feet deep in which to bury the Three Menaces with a city block left over to rope off for a Victory Celebration! <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> To_ <br> Address_ <br> City_ <br> State_ <br> Message: <br> Signed_ <br> <br> <br> I’m Over Celebrating My Wedding. <br> I’m Over Celebrating My Anniversary. <br> I’m Over Celebrating My Divorce. <br> I’m Over Celebrating <br> I’m Over. <br> Wish You Were Here. <br> I’m Taking the Slot Machines, and I Love it. <br> The Slot Machines Are Taking Me But I Love It. <br> When MY Blue Chips Are Down, the West’s Best is Hotel El Ranch Vegas <br> <br> <br> IT’S ALL YOURS <br> If you wish to send this souvenir menu to a friend, just print (clearly) the name and addressin the space provided and hand to the hostess.
