Amount earned by War Bonds tour

I removed a reference to the amount of money earned by the Second War Bonds tour due to conflicting evidence from two sources:
Time Magazine's article "Gap Narrowed", May 24, 1943, v.41, issue 21, states the amount raised specifically by the Second War Loan Drive (which I believe, but can't confirm, is the drive that featured the paintings) as being $18,533,000,000. Although it seems to be a typo, two other sentences in the short article also refer to "billions" of dollars. However, this is an html transcript and not a scan of the original article. If anyone has access to an original copy of this article, scanned or on microform, you can check to see whether the html was accidentally mis-transcribed somehow.
The other source is Laura Claridge's book Norman Rockwell: A Life, published in 2001 by Random House. Page 313 states the income for the tour of the Four Freedoms paintings raised $133 million. Since this is not a fact critical to understanding the overall topic of the article, I suggest leaving this sentence out until the amount of income, and which War Loan Drive featured the paintings, can be confirmed.--Laurelivy (talk) 18:19, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Who is this John Atherton?

John Atherton seems wrong, so who is this John Atherton, John W. Atherton or John Carlton Atherton? I guess is the latter but want to make sure.--Jarodalien (talk) 12:13, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Silverton, Oregon

Should this article mention the paintings in Silverton, Oregon?
