Our Boys Need Musical Instruments
on the Battlefront and in Camp
You can help send them this easy way.
That forgotten musical instrument in your storeroom is wanted! Some boy in uniform,
halfway 'round the world, is asking for it now. Harmonicas, accordions, ocarinas, flutes,
bazookas. In cooperation with the United States Government we have worked out a
plan to speed these gifts on to their destinations without trouble or expense to you.
All you have to do is deliver them to your neighborhood Coca-Cola dealer. We'll
do the rest. Here's how it works:
| You take your instrument to your nearest
Coca-Cola dealer.
2 The Coca-Cola truck picks it up and
sends it to tho U. S. Government.
3 They send it to the boys in camp and
overseas.
4 Your gift brings some lonely soldier
joy. Thank you.
Don’t delay. Dig out all your old musical
instruments today and start them on their
journeys to our homesick fighting men.
