SERVICE
Canada's strength is your strength, yours and your fellow
citizens. By saving you can turn your strength into effective
power for war or peace.
Saving is more vital now than ever before.
It's wise to anticipate the needs of tomorrow, rather than
satisfy the impulses of today. You acquire a thrift habit,
bringing a constructive force into your life and in a broader
sense -into Canada as a whole.
Save all you can -it's the urgent thing to do
