# This Is Your War Too! Take Your Change in War Savings Stamps

A smiling helmeted soldier holds out a War Savings Stamp Card (four 25-cent squares filled), under the headline 'This is your war too!' and the line 'Take your change in War Savings Stamps 25c'. The tell for transfer is the soldier's uniform lending his standing to a small cash purchase; the tell for identity-fusion is 'This is your war too' and 'You too can serve by saving', which fold the shopper into the war effort.
