A bank's appeal for faith, courage and patience sets this 1918 poster apart from the war-bond and recruiting images that dominate the period. Issued by the Harriman National Bank and signed by M. Waddell, it was printed in color by the Metro Litho. Co. of New York while the United States was still fighting in Europe. Its subject headings point to the economic strain and war damage that Americans faced at home, themes that give its quiet, reassuring tone its weight. The message is worth noticing for what it leaves out: it asks for endurance rather than a specific purchase or pledge.
