WE'RE GOING TO NEED- SO MANY THINGS
WHENTHE WAR ENDS...things that are hard to get now
Every day, almost, we find that something else is
getting scarce. So often, we are told "they're not
making it any more". Factories are making guns
instead of ploughs, tanks instead of tractors, planes
and shells instead of stoves and beds. We'll have to
replace so many things when the war ends . . . things
we can't buy now.

MONEY INVESTED IN
VICTORY BONDS
will provide the cash to buy them
... in one lump sum, with money
we have saved. There is no safer
investment ... no better way to
protect our savings.
Or—we can buy bonds and
pay for them through our banks
in monthly instalments. As the
instalments come due the bank
will charge them to our accounts.
WHAT A
VICTORY BOND IS
Look at a dollar bill. A dollar bill is like a bond. It's a promise
to ,pay to the man who has it. You get bills when you sell
things and pay them out when you buy things. A Victory
Bond is "a bill" intended to be saved. When you keep a
$100A0 Victory Bond for a year you receive an additional
$3.00. (3% interest). Buy all the Victory Bonds you can—
lend money to Canada to help to win the war. Save your
bonds to have money for things you'll need when the war ends.
National War Finance Committee
— with Produce
Farm folk can pay for Victory
Bonds in another, convenient
way—by using the "PRODUCE
FOR VICTORY" TICKET. By -
simply signing a "Victory
Ticket" you can authorize those
who buy produce from you to
send all or part of the proceeds
to the War Finance Committee
to buy Victory Bonds for you.
(Ask your local War Finance
worker for details.)
