This advertisement from a 1945 issue of The Saturday Evening Post features an appeal for donations to the Red Cross, emphasizing the impact of these contributions on American Prisoners of War during World War II, specifically in the form of care packages. The ad is sponsored by The White Motor Company, highlighting their trucks as a means of transport for these vital supplies.
The advertisement's visuals are divided into two main sections:
Upper Section: Depicts American soldiers, including a Prisoner of War, receiving and handling Red Cross packages, symbolizing the comfort and connection to home these packages provide.
Lower Section: Shows White trucks transporting Red Cross supplies, including medical kits, to ships for overseas delivery, illustrating the logistical effort behind getting aid to those in need.
The text reinforces the emotional and practical significance of Red Cross support, stating, "HE'S HOME... for a moment" to convey the temporary comfort a package brings to a POW, and urging readers to donate to the 1945 War Fund. The tagline "THE MOST WE CAN GIVE IS THE LEAST WE CAN DO" further emphasizes the importance of supporting the Red Cross's efforts.Condition - The ad is mounted to cardboard and ready to frame. There may be some marks, discoloration or wrinkles but nothing major.
