  War bond and war stamp posters, 1941–1946
  This gallery has 193 sheets from the FRAME snapshot dated 1941 to 1946 whose main request is that Americans buy or hold Defense Bonds, War Bonds, war stamps, or Savings Bonds. There is one card for each title, in date order, with the identifier the archive records.

Most of the sheets are the Treasury's: its Defense Savings Staff, War Savings Staff, and War Finance Division, or the Treasury's name alone. Around them are sheets issued by the Office of War Information, the Army and the Navy, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Schools-at-War program, and sheets paid for by private sponsors, from the liquor and wine industries' War Stamp Council and Abbott Laboratories to Texaco, Bethlehem Steel, the railroads, Woolworth, a theatre chain, a drug-store chain, and local banks. One newspaper cartoon, Jim Berryman's "Better than a Wreath" from the Washington Evening Star, is included because its subject is the bond appeal itself.

Where a title appears on more than one record, as with the four "Say yes! Take your change in War Stamps" counter cards, the four "America at War" school sheets, and the two Christmas posters titled "Give war bonds for Christmas," one card stands for the group. Where two records describe the same National Archives item, only one is shown.

The cards show the date each record gives. Many sheets have only a year, and several that the archive dates 1941 already speak of War Bonds or carry War Finance Division codes; they are left as the archive dates them. If the line under a title says "no primary id in the snapshot," the record gives no NARA number, and none is supplied here. Where this site has an essay, the card opens it; otherwise it opens the FRAME record.

Some cards carry the slurs and caricatures the sheets printed, among them "Japanazi" and "Japs." They are shown as titled, because they are the record. The parent page, World War II war bonds and war stamps, 1941–1946, says what was wrong with them and reads the campaign as a whole. Sheets in which bonds are one item among many, such as the seven-key price posters and the Army's "Margie" savings series, are left out.
