IT'S COMING TO HIM
SNIPER'S bullet nearly ended his dreams
.on the dike in Holland ; ; ; and there was
a mortar bomb in Germany ; ; ; but now he is
back. He wants a few acres of land, a home in
some little green spot where be can forget
about booby traps . and screaming hot metal.
He wants, to marry the girl who waited. -
These are the very human things your
Victory Loan dollars canmake available for
our returned people ; ; ; so, in some ways,
this Victory Loan is the most importantof
all. The amount of money needed is large,
and the need is urgent.
We can't think Victory is complete until all
the wen and 'women who served ;in this war
are properly taken care of• -can you?
