Brief Description: A provocative ad that implied soldiers who fought in World War I were "suckers" for participating in the conflict. The image depicts a soldier in a wheelchair, his reward for fighting. The message of the ad is to warn against war. World Peaceways was incorporated in 1931 as World Peace Posters and then changed back again. It used radio and advertisement techniques to counteract war. The ad was an anti-war campaign by Fortune and American Magazine for World Peaceways.
