This page from 'PBOW News,' the employee newspaper of the Plum Brook Ordnance Works in Sandusky, Ohio, dated November 21, 1942, celebrates a home-front achievement: workers had purchased $396,000 in War Savings Bonds over a seven-month campaign, enough to fund a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. The page reproduces a congratulatory Western Union telegram from the U.S. Treasury Department, sent on behalf of Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., along with a letter from local War Savings Committee chairman Charles E. Freeman. Such 'Buy a Bomber' campaigns were common at American war-production facilities, linking civilian financial sacrifice directly to military hardware and reinforcing the sense of shared purpose between factory floor and front line.
