Description: NEW YORK CITY - Times Square - Looking Toward Service Men's Center - WWII: America would use a hybrid model to provide travelers’ aid and some comforts of home for its swelling military ranks. The federal government would build and lease new buildings while citizens and charities would staff and fund these service centers through the newly formed United Service Organizations. Sometimes, it happened that way. More often, local groups got together to make do without waiting for the feds. Early in the war, in San Jose, California, trade union members—carpenters, plumbers, painters and plasterers—pooled their efforts to build a fully furnished club house in one day, according to USO reports. A similar story played out at Wendover Field, Utah. Surrounding communities supplied materials and manpower, and they partnered with personnel from the Army Air Corps to build a club in a day. They put on a dance to celebrate the same night. This Photochromatic WWII-era postcard is in good condition, but there is some corner creasing.
