• The fate of fighting men depends onthe production and delivery
of planes, tanks, guns, ships and shells... depends on passing the
ammunition, It takes money to do itl That's why we at home are
asked to buy Victory Bonds. Why we too must make sacrifices. And
it's worth every sacrifice we can make to provide more fighting dollars
to "back the attack". It will bring Victory sooner ... more, it wilt
save precious lives. Buy another Victory Bond today!
And remember this! When we at home buy Victory Bonds, we are
not only doing our patriotic duty we are investing in the future . —
our future ... saving money with which to buy the things we'll want
when t -e war is over.
Save for peace days nowt Be prepared to obtain when' available
new, up-to-the-minute equipment for the home that will provide an

number of new electrical appliances. It may be a new home. What-
ever it is, it will be easier to buy if money is invested in Victory Bonds
