Comments:  "Tip Top Lunch" of Petersburg, W.VA. was made by "Advance Match & Prtg. Corp.". The picture on the back shows Hitler being hit over the head by a housewife with a bundle of waste paper and being bitten by a little dog. It says "Swat The Axis. Save Waste Paper.". It still has half of its matches.
"V.F.W. Club" of Grafton, W.VA. says on the rear "Keep 'em flying buy war bonds & stamps.". Inside it is printed with some good advice on "How to live on $15.00 a week." and it still has one match inside.
"Gem blades" match book is printed on the inside with the patriotic phrase "Save waste paper. Save a bundle a week. Save some boy's life.". It was made by "D.D. Bean & Sons Co." of Jaffrey, N.H. and still has nearly all its matches.
