During World War I, the Committee on Public Information - the U.S. government's official propaganda agency, led by journalist George Creel - sent traveling 'War Expositions' across the country to sustain civilian morale and support Liberty Loan bond drives. This customized touring car, fitted with a mock machine gun and painted with wartime slogans, made a stop in Cincinnati, Ohio, on December 14, drawing curious onlookers to the city's public square.
