Original Item: Only One Available. The national Third War Loan Drive ran from September 8 through October 2, 1943. This was one of eight short-term bond drives called "war loans" which were conducted in addition to ongoing bond sales. The government encouraged private companies and organizations to donate advertising for bond drives.

This 20" x 28" World War Two War Bonds poster was designed in the early 1940s by the Artist George Schreiber (1904-1977) and printed by the U. S. Government Printing Office with designation number 1943-O-537864. It reads:

Back the Attack!
BUY WAR BONDS

Born in Brussels, Belgium, George Schreiber traveled and studied extensively until finally arriving in the United States in 1928. Schreiber had two passions- first being an American citizen and second informing people of the war-torn horrors he had witnessed in Europe. He traveled extensively to all 48 states, everywhere displaying his paintings, lithographs and illustrations from his homeland. During World War II, the United States Navy commissioned Schreiber to create paintings to use as posters. He was often criticized by fellow artists for this career move. But Schreiber saw it as an opportunity to bring his art to great numbers of people, spreading important messages.
