Knowing and appreciating what the theatres, the exchanges, the studios and Hollywood stars have done throughout the war, I commend you for the enthusiasm with which your entire Industry is tackling this remaining big job. Harry S. Truman"; "Thanks, Mr. President we'll do our best!"; "Bonds on sale here"; "War Activities Committee"; "Motion Picture Industry"; "In co-operation with the War Finance Committee of the United states Treasury Department") featuring art of the Capitol building. Note that this poster would have been displayed in movie theaters immediately after the end of World War II (the loan was from from October to December), to encourage moviegoers to buy war bonds, which were sold in the lobbies of movie theaters. While it could be considered to be a one-sheet poster (it's 27" x 41" and was displayed in theaters), we feel it is best to list it as a war poster. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking.
