• What do you buy with your hard-
earned dollars? Food, clothing, shelter?
Then they are well -spent. But, the
dollars that you have invested in
Victory Bonds have a double value.
They are helping. to train, feed, equip
and transport Canada's fighting men.
At the same time that your Victory
Bond investments are helping your
country in her time of greatest need,
they are paying you good interest. And,
every day you find pleasure in thinking
of how much they will mean to you
when the war is over.
Very soon you will have a chance to
buy more Victory Bonds. k. Dollars
invested in this way will be even more
valuable thap ever because, our fighters
are on the offensive. There's a better
chance than ever for an early Victory.

'Think what this will mean to you and
your family—to men and women every
where who are bora to be free.,
Canada has sent a steady stream of
men and materials to the fighting fronts.
Now that we are marshalling for the
attack, we must have huge reserves. It
must be clear to all that the greater our
available supply, our reserve of fighting
tools, the fewer will be our losses
in men.
You can help to save lives, hasten
Victory, bring our men. back home.
You can help to assure "the four free-
doms" for all—by buying Victory
Bonds to the limit of your ability. You
are not asked to give but only to lend.
Help Canada. Safeguard your own
future. Be ready to go the limit when
