Show DOUBLE-DUTY DOLLARS Uncle Sarrt's fighting men earn their money the hard way. With comforts of home now but a memory and a future hope, they plunge into the deep waters of the Pacific, and in the teeth of treacherous enemy fire, fight their way onto island beaches to continue the struggle in jungle interiors. Other lads wing over Nazi and Japanese ack-ack, bombing, strafing, and praying. Still others in Italy are battling street by street and, hill by hill. No amount of money could repay them, but out of such pay as they do receive, a considerable portion is going into War Bonds to help purchase their own weapons and back their own attack. In one month, in Italy alone, soldiers bought more than four million dollars' worth of bonds. Theirs certainly cer-tainly are fighting dollars. But what of civilian dollars, often earned, it is true, through strenuous work and long hoiirs in war production, but on safe and peaceful home grounds?' Though many are buying bonds, there still are far too many easy-come, easy-go, easy-go, or idle dollars. One of the best ways in which home-front home-front Americans can help insure the success of the costly forthcoming European invasion is by carrying on an incursion in-cursion of their own into pocketbooks, bureau drawers, and cash boxes, to bring out of hiding millions of dollars now lying idle or bent on needless purchases. For if they can't fight, their dollars can. |
