Presented is an original WWII U.S. Treasury Poster, issued to encourage railway workers to purchase War bonds through the Payroll … more Presented is an original WWII U.S. Treasury Poster, issued to encourage railway workers to purchase War bonds through the Payroll Savings Program. The poster was designed by Duncan Coburn and issued in 1944. The poster shows a train dispatcher, hanging off the side of a train, ready to receive a note from the station agent. The text “Your ‘19’” is printed at top in bold green script. At the bottom of the poster, a green Form 19 is shown with an order for “All Trains” at “All Stations” to “Meet Payroll Savings.”

Form 19 was a special order from the Dispatcher to the Engineer and Conduction of a train that either gives them the authority to operate or modifies the timetable schedule. The orders were transmitted from the Dispatcher to a Station agent, and then passed to the crew of a moving train via a train order hoop. This poster is equating the importance of that Form 19 to meeting Payroll Savings goals.

During WWII, the government received funding directly from United States citizens in the form of war saving bonds and stamps, which were paid back later with interest. Purchasing war bonds was viewed as a way for American citizens to support the war effort. Bonds became a symbol of patriotic duty in the United States and introduced the idea of financial securities to many citizens for the first time.

Employees could authorize a certain allotment from each paycheck to be saved towards the purchase of a war savings bond. Known as the Payroll Savings Plan, the employer would deliver the bond out of the designated savings from his paycheck. There was an outpouring of poster art on both the local and national levels for these loan programs.
