Patriotism Is Not Rationed
in Huron County
Let's Each Buy MORE Victory Bonds
Sales to date are encouraging. That's fine, but let's not
take this for granted. Let's make sure that our quota will be
oversold.
As a matter of fact, there should be no quotas in con-
nection with the sale of Victory Bonds. Until the war has been
won there can be no halting — no resting for any of us. We
haven't won the war yet.
Our fighters are not working on a quota basis. They are
"all out" doing everything they can to get the job done.
So, if we give this matter proper thought, each of us will
buy more "Victory Bonds. We will buy all we can for cash, and
we will buy more — on the instalment plan — all we can pay
for in the next six months. If necessary, we will scrimp and
save to do it.
