This one features Uncle Sam in the sky with bombers flying overhead and soldiers charging along the ground below him with the words "BUY WAR BONDS."
Short and to the point.
The caption reads:
"Buy War Bonds
N.C. Wyeth, United 1943
Between January and July 1943, only 60% of American households had purchased War bonds. Due to the lagging support for that bond drive, President Roosevelt considered making the purchase of war bonds mandatory for American households."
N.C. Wyeth was quite the well-known artist of the era.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
