Flipping through the advertising pages of those days, most of the ads are for military academies and cadre schools recruiting personnel. There are virtually no commercial adverts. What ads there are often include patriotic sentiments even as they push essential wares for the war effort: "The nation is in peril; our shoes will be specially priced."
翻開當時的報紙廣告欄，各級軍校徵兵、招考幹部的廣告佔了大半，商業廣告幾乎沒有，有的也是一些如「國難當前，軍用皮棉鞋特價」等戰時必需品。
