Keep it up! Buy U.S. Bonds Stamps
Bond and stamp poster: a dark twin-engine bomber seen from below crosses a yellow field, with 'BUY U.S. BONDS * STAMPS' lettered along its wings and 'keep it up!' in script at lower left. The technique is faint: the aircraft's climb is attached to buying, a transfer from the war effort to the purchase. A boxed Minute Man figure sits at upper left.
