war bond drives
Wartime savings campaigns
War bond drives were organized campaigns to sell government bonds during wartime, particularly during World War I and II.
Citizens purchased bonds as both a patriotic duty and an investment, lending money to the government to finance military operations.
The drives featured celebrity appearances, rallies, and propaganda posters urging participation: Hollywood stars toured the country promoting war bond drives.
