Abstract

Scope and Content Note

These advertising cards, patches, and tickets were created on the American homefront during the Second World War. Each ephemeral item depicts different aspects to war support such as victory bonds, war dances, and auxiliary corps. Some of the items feature racist depictions of Japanese people. One of the artifacts is a letter set with the image of a foot coming down on the caricatures of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito as snakes with the words “Stamp’em out!” featured in bold letters.
