This rare vintage original poster was issued by the War Activities Committee of the Motion Picture Industry to support the Victory Loan Drive which was the eighth and final war bond loan drive running in October and November 1945. This poster was designed for use in movie theaters and conveys a simple message that moviegoers could buy Victory Bonds at the theater that would help finish the job and bring the boys home. The lower margin indicates “Distributed and Exhibited Under Auspices of the War Activities Committee, Motion Picture Industry – in cooperation with the War Finance Committee United States Treasury.”

The War Activities Committee of the Motion Picture Industry produced short propaganda films, organized war bond drives at movie theaters and helped to make movie stars available for various campaigns in support of the war effort.

This vintage original poster has no tape or pinholes and looks unused. The poster is folded as issued, shows a bit of light foxing and very slight ghostly to the ink in a few places but the poster is otherwise apparently unused. Overall condition is very good.
