Volunteer salesman Gary Cooper takes time out from work in a new movie to chalk up the highest record for selling Defense Bonds at the Defense House in Pershing Square in Los Angeles, California on Feb. 8, 1942, after making a stirring 15-minute speech, the longest of his public career. Cooper attracted the longest line of purchasers and sold more bonds than any motion picture star since the Defense House was opened, according to the Treasury Department. With him on the platform is lovely Virginia Gilmore of the films. (AP Photo)
