1942. U.S. Government Printing Office. "Even a Little Can Help a Lot - Now", the 1942 U.S. World War II (WWII) War Bond poster ("Buy U.S. War Stamps Bonds"; "Illustration courtesy of Ladies' Home Journal") featuring Al Parker art of a mother and daughter putting war stamps in a book. In 1942, the United States Treasury Department issued a series of war savings stamps. These war savings stamps were collected in a booklet, as depicted in the poster. The stamps earned no interest, and were used to redeem a Series E War Bond.This poster specifically depicts red Civilian Public Service stamps and blue War Sufferers' Relief stamps, worth ten cents each. The first Series E U.S. Savings Bond was purchased by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on May 1, 1941. During WWII war bonds were a source of monetary income for the United States government. Americans were urged to buy war bonds and war savings stamps. Purchasing bonds was considerd not only patriotic, but also an investment in victory. While the initial goal of selling war bonds was to finance the war, it had the positive side-effect of raising morale on the home-front. By the end of the war 85 million Americans had invested in war bonds. Al Parker (1906 - 1985) was an American artist and illustrator. He created over 50 covers for the Ladies? Home Journal, as well as many illustrations for the major magazines of the time. During WWII, he created the artwork for several war bond posters. He was later known for producing a series of highly collectable Grand Prix auto racing paintings for Sports Illustrated. Parker was elected to the Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame in 1965. A stamp commemorating his art was issued by the United States Postal Service in 2001 as part of the American Illustrators Issue series.
