Fill out the Letter and attach it to your application—it is an order on your Bank to buy Bonds for you. do all you can to©You say you want to help Canada’s war effort. Then you will keep on buying Victory Bonds. You will buy all you can. You recognize the obligation that we, at home, owe to our men overseas. You know that stocks of munitions which our fighting men need are being depleted and must be replaced. You know that more munitions must go forward—and you will buy Victory Bonds to h&lp pay for them. You would like to be able to buy more bonds, you say. Well here is how you can do it. You Can buy more bonds with money as you get it. Any bank will loan you the ■ ....... money to do this and the interest on the bonds will pay the cost of the bank loan. All you have to do is to sign the letter shown here—• which you can get from your Victory Loan Salesman. You make a first payment of 10% or more when you apply for the bonds, and pay the balance at any time over a period of six months. You will be doing an important war job when you do this. You will be helping your country and backing up her fighting men. You will get another reward, too, that will benefit yourself. You will have money, later on, when the war has been won-—to do things you plan to do—money to improve your farm and your home. fhuteAi In National War Financ&CatnttilHee! Mam 7-60
