This spirited World War II poster uses humor and domestic familiarity to promote one of the most significant home-front initiatives of the era: the purchase of U.S. War Bonds. A playful scene unfolds as a serviceman, tucked mischievously into bed, reminds his partner to invest at least ten percent of his earnings in War Bonds. The lighthearted illustration masks a deeply serious national mission, encouraging American families to do their part in financing the war effort by transforming everyday life into an opportunity for patriotic action.During World War II, the War Bond program became essential for mobilizing domestic support. Posters such as this one helped turn financial sacrifice into a widely shared civic duty. More than propaganda alone, these images worked to unify Americans through a sense of collective responsibility, using humor, romance, and relatable household moments to reinforce the notion that victory required participation from every citizen. The successful campaigns of the U.S. Treasury ultimately raised billions of dollars, underscoring how effective posters like this were in rallying public enthusiasm.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction.
