Around 1918, opera singer Geraldine Farrar joined Treasury Secretary William G. McAdoo on a platform draped in American flags to help sell war bonds during World War I. A sign announcing that Farrar would sell bonds made clear that her name was part of the draw. The government regularly called on well-known performers to attract crowds and encourage people to invest in the war effort.
