Label TextThis poster designed by an artist whose name has not survived shows Uncle Sam with a soldier and a man purchasing War Savings Stamps; it was one of many posters urging civilians to support the war effort by purchasing War Savings Stamps. Its direct address to citizens echos the statement on Stanley Arthurs' painting for a war poster at left, referring to the sacrifices borne by the armed forces.
