Say yes! Take your change in War Stamps (soldier in garrison cap)
Long narrow strip showing a smiling soldier in a garrison cap who looks back over his shoulder and points at the words 'Say Yes! Take your change in War Stamps'. The pointing serviceman addresses the shopper directly, a testimonial aimed at everyday small purchases (plain-folks).
