# Buy War Savings Stamps Every Friday [2]

A long yellow strip in heavy black lettering reads 'Buy War Savings Stamps every Friday', with 'Stamps' and 'Friday' enlarged. It is a bare instruction with no image or argument; glittering-generalities is the closest fit only through the word 'War' attached to saving, which asks for a weekly habit without naming an amount or aim.
