A wartime appeal from a soft drink maker is what sets this c1943 lithograph apart. It was copyrighted by the 7-Up Company of St. Louis, Missouri, and its headline, "Her America must stay free! Buy war bonds," presents a teenage girl as the reason to invest. The catalog's subject terms also list writing, which ties the image to the letters and personal messages that many families sent during the war. Bond drives asked ordinary Americans to lend money to the government, and businesses far from the battlefront joined in to keep that appeal in front of the public.
