Found this one to be a bit different and unique. Must have been the equivalent of our junk mail. I can't find anything from the date but being as it's for War bonds puts it in the 1942-1944 area as the Prexies were released in 1938.

It absolutely HAS to be right near the end of the war as that is when Roosevelt conceived of the unconditional surrender for Hirohito <?? (May not have got the name or spelling correct)
