What is the True Meaning of the
VICTORY LOAN?
We are within sight of Victory, and now, less than ever, can we afford to
rest in a false atmosphere of security.
Now is the moment for a grand rally, an irresistible push forward with
men and money.
The men are there—and always fresh ones go. They must continually
be fed. clothed, and supplied with ammunition. The work of supporting
them, the EASY PART, is ours. Shall any of us fail them at this end?
NO, A HUNDRED TIMES, NO !
And what are we asked to do? What is it that Canada asks of us ?
Simply to LEND to our own country, more money, 'that the great fight
may be finished for us, and that the sacrifices -made for us in four years of
war shall not be in vain. No thinking man or woman who realizes this can
fail to respond to the limit of his or her ability.
And Canada makes it very easy for us to do this through

The High Cost of TI'hims
THE United States Government has •foundit necessa!Ito issue
strict orders regulating the styles of shoes. Why? Because
the high cost of fads imposes a burden all alone the line—
upon manufacturer, dealer and consumer, and upon the Govern-
- ment itself.
Such action may be avoided in Canada, if you—the con-
sumer—will co-operate with the manufacturer in reducing the
demand foTF extravagant styles—if you will buy prladcntly, for •
service rattier than for effect.
To do this will be a direct benefit to you. You will get better
and longer service, more comfort, and your shoes will be quite as
neat and attractive. You will need fewer pairs of shoes. in the
course of a year.
More than that: you will help to cut down needless extravagance, to
reduce superfluous stocks on the dealers' shelves, to keep prices down, and
to release essential supplies of leather for our forces overseas.
