This
poster for a War Bond Drive, which was signed by men as they bought one
or more $25 bonds, would not only help America recover from its massive
war debt but had more personal implications, as it offered each
entrant a chance for a quick ticket home. The drive was conducted
December 10 through 13, 1945
Grand prizes |
3 men would win an early ticket home |
Second prize |
1 would win a phone call to the home front on
Christmas Day, 1945 |
Third prizes |
8 men would win free trips to Paris |
Runners up |
and many others ... |
We do not know who the
winners were or what the "many other" prizes were but we suspect that
the drive probably brought in quite a bit of money. |
