| Summary: |
Advertisement from Young & Rubicam, Inc. warning against the dangers of spreading rumors during World War II. The ad features a large skunk bearing Nazi Propagandist Joseph Goebbels face with a swastika shaved into its leg. The copy indicates that the Nazi propagandists are working to "pit class against class, race against race in America". Upon hearing a rumor, one must ask themselves: 1. Does it hurt morale? 2. Does it make you distrust your Government, business or labor? (Divide and Rule is Hitler's policy.) 3. Does such a rumor tend to discredit our Allies? 4. Who would benefit most by spreading this rumor--our enemies or the United States? The illustration was signed by Arthur Szyk. |
