War ... and the Family Man

The Union Central Life Insurance Company, 1941

I think the message is "Can't fight? Buy some insurance!"


A 1944 PSA from the War Advertising Council, leading the fight against higher prices and... higher wages??  Inflation solution = increase poverty! :D   Actually a lot of the advice is good financial responsibility - pay the lowest price, pay off debt, save.

yeah, they use to PROMOTE thrift, now you're encouraged to SPEND.....i have a book on thrifty tips from 1915 and it has a section going on about how being thrifty actually is better for the economy than reckless spending.....
