Hello Buddy: Great Depression I era Unemployed Veteran Pamphlets
 |
 |
During the First Great Depression, unemployed W.W. I veterans sold pamphlets with titles such as “Hello Buddy”, as a means of asking for money while retaining their pride that they were not begging. Many of these pamphlets did not have a set price, but instead asked people to “Pay What You Please.”
We’ve show a number of extracts from these pamphlets the past two years — click here to see those. I thought I’d exhausted the examples I have in my collection in these prior postings, but, I managed to find a few more images yet for this Memorial Day. Enjoy!
Click on the above & below pictures, to view the cartoons in detail, and read their captions.
