He Gives 100%, You Can Lend 10%, Buy War Stamps and Bonds

The United States spent more than any other nation to wage the Second World War: $288 billion. This vast sum could not be raised by taxes alone, and therefore, civilians were encouraged to tithe and invest a dime of every dollar in war bonds and stamps.

The bonds were the usual promissory note with a fixed term and rate, but many of them were more colorful than the usual versions. One victory bond, designed by the Disney studios, depicted the Seven Dwarfs decorating the border of the bond.
