Fighting Dollars for Fighting Men!
A smiling man in a work cap and overalls holds up a Postal Savings Plan defense savings stamp card, above a red mass of marching helmeted infantry and a blue shield reading 'Buy U.S. Defense Bonds, Stamps'. The tell is the ordinary worker as the buyer and the massed marching soldiers behind him, which pair a purchase with the men under arms. A wide blank band at the bottom was left for local overprinting.
