Confine this phrase to the trash heap

July 2, 1942: “Drop your personal calling card on the Axis” was the pitch in a war bond drive. Jays, on Temple Place, opened the “Retailers for Victory” campaign with the sale of a $1,000 war bond and the first autograph made on the shell of a 100-pound bomb, which Navy Secretary Frank Knox had delivered there that morning. President Arthur P. Schier bought a $1,000 war bond to be first to autograph the bomb. From left, Mrs. Marion Meyer, vice president of Jays; Mrs. Jeremiah Hurley, of Brookline, second signer on the bomb; Ruth E. Broome, of Cambridge; and Schier and Kay Zetruer of Boston all signed the bomb, to be dropped somewhere on an Axis target.
