JPC 787
Gum card from the set UNCLE SAM by Philadelphia company Gum Inc (now defunct), published in 1941 shortly before Pearl Harbor. The focus of the set was directed to US preparedness for hostilities, and it is devoid of the vivid and horrifying details of the overseas warfare which was already taking place. This card pictures an East Asian, likely Japanese, with the caption on the back “At these times the regulations are tightened and the marines have to be on the alert to prevent suspicious looking individuals from gaining any information that would be harmful to Uncle Sam’s interest”. A rare card. B
