This is a great find for both it's age and condition. "Wanted - Fight Dollars" is created by Wilkinson(s), and I say that because in the signature it looks like the emblem of two little men holding a paint brush. Perhaps two brothers or a husband-wife team? It states on the top:
WANTED - FIGHTING DOLLARS
Make Every Pay-Day
BOND-DAY
Below a picture of a man hoding a United States Bond and smiling :) is states:

It was printed by the U.S. Governemnt Printing Office: 1942-0-437059. On the bottom of the left hand corner it reads: Form DSS 189A. The poster must have been tearing from the folding back them and someone applied a small piece of tape to the bottom. It looks like an old piece of tape too!
The mid section of the poster, on the folding line appear to be staple like marks. I didn't think they stapled them back then. Otherwise there are some small tears and flea bites. Make an offer, we might surprise you and take it!
This poster has been smoothed out quite well for the age of the piece. It is on a cardboard backing with shrinkwrap. The piece measures approximately 19 1/2 inches wide x 30 inches tall.
All items represented are in good condition for their age, and from a non-smoking environment. This item has been cared for like the fine piece of art it is, and kept in a gallery like setting.
