This folder contains a printed screenshot from the Rainbo Records company website. It shares a piece of information that is relative to the three records that are included as artifacts with the collection. The circled portion of the website reads, "1942: With the outbreak of WWII, personally recorded messages takes on a new significance. The U.S. Treasury Department and a commercial firm institute a program to record messages to and from the service men with the purchase of war bonds. Rainbo was their exclusive supplier." The paper was "not original to the collection." It was "added to provide information to researchers about the recordable albums sent to service men."

This folder contains a World Atlas titled "Atlas of a World at War." It was published by Matthews-Northrup in 1940.

A coupon is included on the back page of the atlas, offering a 5 cent cost to send the atlas back to World Publishing in Cleveland to be revised. Containing over 30 maps, the atlas shares a variety of world maps.  

This folder contains attendance cards for Margaret's sons during the war. Many of these were from the boys' band class in which Donald played trombone. A few of the cards refer to Donald as his nickname, "Donnie." Most of them use his formal name of Donald, 15 labeled for Donnie, 7 for Ronnie. The stickers were used by the boys' schoolteachers to keep attendance and behaviors. Most days, the sticker was represented by a star, sometimes two. Other days, an American flag sticker marked the boys' presence in school. The dates range from the beginning of the school year, October 2, until May 29. The folder also includes a Christmas card addressed to an Elena Smith on the Pacific Limited Railroad en route to California. The envelope is marked with a "Special Delivery" notice and instructions to "not open until 6:00 on the train." The envelope also has a sticker that depicts a "By American Products" sign. The Christmas card advertises an Uncle Sam figure delivering Christmas cards on a train and the inside is inscribed with, "Hello there, Young America [sic]! GIVE Uncle Sam a hand by saving his defense Stamps To defend our land! This book will hold the stamps for you and if you save a lot, Then Uncle Sam will soon call you A first-class Patriot!" It also defines the Christmas as being one spent in Riverside, California.
