Wartime Advertising Emphasizes Social War Effort
Wartime advertising aims less at selling goods and more at preserving consumer confidence and the wartime economy. Leaders of government and major agencies recognize advertising must sustain the system during war, as noted by Raymond Moley in Newsweek.
