Scope and content
An unidentified woman is pictured on the phone, spreading the word about "War Chest," a very live and voluble duck used in the October 1942 fund raising campaign to help the participants work a little harder. "War Chest" was awarded to the individual raising the least amount of money. He was required to feed and care for the duck until he improved his financial position and then pass the duck on to the next low man. Most workers spent the two weeks of the campaign trying to "duck the duck."
