All those savings you've made with ten dimes
would shrinktothe size of one IY/ • That's inflation! So we're lucky in
Canada that price ceilings and other anti-inflationary measures have kept our
ms
dollar value HIGH. In fact, a dollar goes further to -day... buys more goods g

than the dollar of1918.'Look atthese prices, apoundofcocoa today Comparedto

to pay more than the ceiling price...denounce black markets ...buy Victoig Bonds
..save.. pay off debts \ Qin and help keep the cost of living down!
I promise to give my support to keeping the cost
of living down. I will buy only what I need: I
will observe the ceiling whether buying or sell-
ing goods or services. I will pay off old' debts,
save for.the future, invest in Victory Bonds, and
War Savings Certificates. And I will support
taxes which help lower the cost of living.

The franc is worth about 3 cents
