A little saved here and a little saved there provides money to lend to Canada to help pay for the war. Small sums from millions of Canadians mount to billions when totalled up. The amount that you may lend to yOur country may seem a small sum to you, but pennies make dimes and dimeS make dollars, and Canada needs every single dollar that every Canadian can save and lend. Canada’s need for’borrowing is greater now than ever before. Every Canadian must lend, and lend more than before. Money you save and invest in Victory Bonds will benefit you in a personal way, too.
