OFFICIAL U.S. WAR AND STAMP GREETING CARDS

The Treasury Department a proved the production and distribution of greeting cards promoting the sale of defense and war savings stamps.

The text on the back identifies the publisher of the cards as the Greeting Card Industry, Inc.

Most interestingly the three cards have unique identification numbers. The three seen are: 5WS306, 5WS308, 5WS402. The proximity of the 306 and 308 seem logical, but 402 indicates that about onehundred different cards were issued. While this is possible, It seems unlikely. Obviously reports of more cards are needed.
