Make This Your Postscript Home - Buy War Savings
A winking cartoon soldier in a side cap signs a letter 'Your loving Bill' with the postscript 'P.S. Savings stamp enclosed as usual', a stamp stuck beneath, under 'Make this your postscript home...' and 'Buy War Savings'. The tell is plain folks: an ordinary soldier's letter home makes saving a routine of family loyalty ('as usual').
