God Bless America: Tin Pan Alley Goes to WarUniversity Press of Kentucky, 2003 - 274 Seiten "Neither group, however, could foresee to what extent the war effort would be defined by advertisers and merchandisers. One advertiser described morale as "a lot of little things," and those little things included beer, chewing gum, tobacco, breakfast cereal - virtually every product on the American market. Selling merchandise was always the first priority of Tin Pan Alley, and the OWI never swayed them from this course."--BOOK JACKET. |
