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 major source of monetary income for the United States government. Americans were urged to buy war bonds and war savings stamps. Purchasing bonds was considered patriotic and 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.

Lot includes one 85 Million Americans Hold War Bonds, Official US Treasury Poster, color, 40" x 28", published by the United States Government Printing Office, 1945.
