Poster, color, 14 x 10 in., published by the United States Government Printing Office The first Series E U.S. Savings Bond was purchased by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on May 1, 1941. During WWII war bonds were a source of monetary income for the United States government. Americans were urged to buy war bonds and war savings stamps. Purchasing bonds was considerd not only patriotic, but also an investment in victory. While the initial goal of selling war bonds was to finance the war, it had the positive side-effect of raising morale on the home-front. By the end of the war 85 million Americans had invested in war bonds. The 6th War Loan began on November 2, 1944. As depicted by this poster, this war loan was promoted to appeal to the American citizen's perception of the Japanese as the primary enemy of the United States. This war loan raised 21.6 billion dollars. World War II 16 History 14 Political systems
