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.
