A window in the Henderson-Hoyt department store at 2-10 North Eighth Street in Manitowoc, Wisconsin displays a large poster captioned "This is a V-Home…Make yours a V-Home, Too!" At the bottom of the poster are two small circular emblems: the primary Civil Defense logo with the letters "CD" inside a triangle, and a Civil Defense Air Raid Warden’s insignia with a striped triangle. Smaller posters in the window promote war bond sales and the OCD, or Office of Civilian Defense. Starting in 1942, the Office of Civilian Defense implemented a "Victory Home" campaign that sought to engage American families in the war effort. Those that met certain requirements, as determined by a local Civilian Defense Warden, could earn a "V-Home" sticker to display. V-homes observed blackout regulations, were clean and without unnecessary inflammables, had certain protective equipment, and had a "refuge room." Families in V-homes also were supposed to buy war bonds, save metals and other materials, and avoid spreading rumors. This window display was created by Henderson-Hoyt employee Leo Chadek.
