This is a vintage original poster was issued by the War Activities Committee of the Motion Pictures Industry as part of a WWII campaign to sell war bonds. The poster isn’t dated but makes reference to “Join the Fighting 5th” which probably means the campaign was undertaken to the support the 5th War Loan Drive which commenced on June 12, 1944. This poster was designed so that supporters who purchased a war bond could write the name of someone in service on the poster.

This poster is folded as issued and was never used as it has no names written on it. Overall condition is very good with moderate handling wear and some toning from age.
