War Effort Mobilization Campaigns Poster Collection. John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History.

Hide Profile

Advertising campaigns that supported the war effort were designed by the War Advertising Council and approved by appropriate U. S. government agencies during World War II. Actual advertisements were in turn sponsored by various businesses which would often add the company name to the ads. Although it appears that the Outdoor Advertising Association of America played some role in the sale or distribution of billboard advertisements, that role within the context of this collection is unclear.
