Share your home with a war worker's family
A tired-looking man, a woman and a girl with a doll sit on a park bench beside two suitcases, under 'Share your home with a war worker's family'. Below, 'The extra income will buy War Bonds' and a red panel to phone the War Housing Center. The homeless family is the pity cue; the bond line adds a financial benefit for the householder.
