# Margie poster no. 6 - Letters to soldiers concerning soldiers' deposits and savings

Color photographic poster of a woman in a straw hat and gingham dress leaning back with a fishing rod, beside a handwritten note signed Margie about postwar plans and 'loose cash', with five checked savings options listed below. The technique is faint here: the closest is plain-folks, a friendly personal voice addressed to servicemen.

## Text on the object

Original (English) · read from the image, not independently checked

```
sure I'm fishing. We
gals have postwar plans,
too, and you're right
in the middle of them.
We're saving to make
them come true, and
we'd like to think
you are too. I hear
tell there's nothing
slipperier than loose
cash, so why not pop
it into savings before
it has a chance to
skid?
Love,
Margie
