World War II advertisements are ads sponsored by the U.S. Government or ads paid for by businesses in support of Government-sponsored campaigns, such as V-mail, or bond drives. Ads from the World War II era may also be found in the other four categories; however, those advertisements are primarily targeted towards promoting a company's product rather than the war effort as reflected in this category.
