Title

St. Louis Public Service Co., Weekly Transportation Passes.

Date

February 15-21, 1942; January 17-23, 1943

Description

Across the country, the Victory Book Campaign was advertised by public transportation companies. Posters were hung inside buses and trains, and collection bins were located in most stations. In St. Louis, weekly bus passes were transformed into attractive reminders for the public to drop off books at libraries and high schools in the area. “More good books now needed for the men in service,” one ticket states.
