UDVERNSEMENTS From the very outset the govern­ment sought to heavily involve the population in financing military and war expenditures, in the form of war loans and the issuing of small denominated state bonds. Eight war loan bonds were issued in Hungary during the Great War. The first call was published as early as 14 th of November 1914, and the first five subscriptions sapped almost the entire savings stock of the popula­tion. By 1917 the state encouraged the troops fighting on the front to buy war loans, by means of offering generous leaves. Entertainment industry advertise­ments flourished even during the most critical period. Bars and cab­arets, cinemas operated and mush­roomed amid the starkest depriva­tion. The audiences included the military suppliers and black market­eers turned into millionaires. Földes Imre: Tavaszi Részvénysör megérkezett [plakát] Imre Földes: Spring Stock Beer arrived (poster]
