The Story of the Army

This is an interesting booklet as this was produced for the Army Relief Fund and in co-operation was the Army was provided by the Indiana Bell Telephone Company to be sold at a traveling War Show program in 1942. The actual booklet cost .25 cents. You will note that this copy does not have the price on it because this was a pre-production sample copy given to Indiana Bell employees. Enclosed in the book is a letter from Harry S. Hanna who was the Vice President of the Company. This booklet is obviously a very rare copy.
