Two Million "25 Club" Members Needed to Register This Month - Buy War Savings Stamps From Your Druggist

A wide banner shows a white-coated, bespectacled pharmacist holding a 'The 25 Club' booklet at left and a soldier at an anti-aircraft gun at right, around the text 'Two million "25 Club" members needed to register this month. Buy War Savings Stamps from your druggist.' The tell for bandwagon is the membership-count target as the appeal; for plain-folks, the neighbourhood druggist is the messenger. The soldier image links purchases to the front.
