# Food Industry's War Savings Stamp Drive (February 1944)

A round display card shows a smiling man in a bow tie and white jacket with a pencil behind his ear, holding a sheet of red 25-cent stamps, inside a ring reading 'Food Industry's War Savings Stamp Drive, February 1944'. The tell for plain-folks is the everyday grocer-style figure, who presents stamp buying as an ordinary shop-counter habit; the ribbon on his jacket carries the slogan 'Hasten their victorious homecoming'.
