Description
Photograph of a group of people behind a counter selling government war bonds during World War II, ca.1939. Several men gather around a table where a woman and two other men sit, scribbling on pieces of paper. The man seated at right has what appears to be a typewriter in front of him, behind a stack of fliers. The area the people stand upon is an elevated platform, with a wooden wall bearing posters with slogans like "Don't tell ME the war is over, Buy extra bonds" and "Buy your bonds here". A picture of the US flag stands behind the platform on a brick wall, and another flag stands on a pole at left.
