Hasten Their Victorious Homecoming (blue and red poster)
A blue panel reading 'Hasten their victorious homecoming' sits above a red panel reading 'Buy War Savings Stamps Today!', with the drive's roundel overlapping the lower edge. The tell for glittering-generalities is the same unexplained value-word 'victorious' tied to a purchase; the layout differs from the banner version, which has the same wording.
