# Food Stamp News, February 1945, page three: Powerful Store Displays Will Help Retailer Boost Sale of Stamps (Canada, February 1945)

Page three of a grocers' trade newspaper reproducing the campaign's store material: a large close portrait of a helmeted soldier above 'Buy War Savings Stamps Every Friday', counter cut-outs, a clerk's cap and a streamer, and a printed letter from Finance Minister J. L. Ilsley. The tell is the soldier's face used to sell a stamp, and the lines 'No soldier would do it on the battlefront' and 'a hundred per cent behind the war effort', which treat buying as what everyone is doing.
