The Andrews Sisters—Maxene, Patty, and Laverne—established a dressing room canteen for war bond purchasers on September 19, 1942. Here, they sell a $100 bond to Corporal Howard Dulang of Fort Dix, N.J., as Boatswain 2nd Class Fred Severance of the Coast Guard looks on. Maxene acts as desk and makes the V for victory sign as Patty fills out the sales record and Laverne collects the money. Corporal Dulang is now privileged to visit the girls backstage in their dressing room at the Paramount Theatre, where they have installed a small refreshment stand. The sisters wait on the bond buyers and give each an autographed victrola record of one of their songs.
