COVER: "UNITED WE STAND".
Special Issue on MORALE. Eleanor Roosevelt, Editor. George V. Denny, Jr., and Houston Peterson, Associate Guest Editors.
SPECIAL ISSUE: RARE and HISTORIC World War II, WWII WARTIME Edition! With the U. S. Flag on the cover! During July 1942, seven months after the United States entered World War II, magazines nationwide featured the American flag on their covers. Adopting the slogan "UNITED WE STAND", some five hundred publications waved the stars and stripes to promote national unity, rally support for the war, and celebrate Independence Day. These have become quite collectible in and of themselves just for the cover. But look at what's in it, below!
