VictorylRonds
Could you still wear the "subscri-
ber's,button" of which you were
once so justly proutIll The possession of
Victory Bonds to-dai is as great an evid,
ence of patriotism as it was when the
campaigns were. in full swing. And as the
supply of these bonds has'been definitely
curtailed, the possession of them is even
stronger evidence of sound busiuess'judg-
ment than it was bef6re.
