Martin Johnson

Gold wire traces the wood frame, and is accented with a fuzz ball or googly eye at each corner. A toy car is placed on the gold wire “track” at bottom center; car racing flag stickers attached to the frame in a couple places. Three pieces of thread are strung horizontally across the frame, a “spider web” attached to top two lines with puffy paint. A wood (?) cutout of a smiling joker mouth hung from web by wire.

Are you giving the best that is in you to help your son, brother, or pal who is "OVER THERE"? - United States Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation - Issued by Publications Section, Emergency Fleet Corporation, Philadelphia
