Food Stamp News, February 1945, page two: Here Is a Page of Ideas to Help You Sell War Savings Stamps (Canada, February 1945)

Page two of a grocers' trade newspaper under a smiling cartoon face, headed 'Here is a PAGE of IDEAS to Help You Sell War Savings Stamps', with store-staff photographs, a '12 Million War Stamps' quota table by province and sample advertising copy. The tell is the sample copy that ties a stamp purchase to equipment for troops ('Back up our boys on the battlefronts'), lending the soldiers' standing to a retail sale.
