Gadget Propaganda. Propaganda is also magazines, movies, handbills, leaflets for bombers to drop, soap, matches, shoelaces, games, puzzles, gadgets of all sorts, packaged to carry a message.

They are the work of such once highly paid talents as Artist-Humorist Ludwig Bemelmans, Scenarist Robert Riskin (Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, etc.), Novelist Jerome (I Can Get It for You Wholesale) Weidmann, Author Humphrey Cobb (Paths of Glory), Adman Ted Patrick and others...
