Description

This is a poster recommending the "Figure It Out Yourself!" campaign to encourage the working men and women of America during World War II to invest in the Government bonds which would ensure financial aid to the war effort and teach the public to once again save their money in investments from their earnings and staving off inflation. Two letters are shown in the poster, one from the Chief Justice of the United States and the other from the Congress of the United States endorsing the "Figure It Out Yourself!" campaign. Below the letters are the pictures of those members of the congressional committee who signed the letter from the congress, including one Harold Knutson of Minnesota. The people are told to participate in this campaign by boosting their bond, buying through the payroll savings plan. The poster is white with blue printing.
