WINDSOR There are visions --now and then --in busi- ness and industry. 'fhe Maxwell motor car is a wonderful vision that has been made real. The fixed purpose of the Maxwell builders was in the beginning, and is now, to produce a car {rhich would be, in the highest sense, cal.. eject, durable, economical, comfortable and standard in equipment. Many\years experience in production on a vast scale has taught the Maxwell manufac- turers two things. One is that such a car as they have always made their situ --a car in which efficiency, durability, economy, comfort, beauty and stand- ard equipment are all present—cannot bo hitt for leas than $1045 with materials at their present prices. The other lesson is that, for more than $1045, they could not ere you anything more than the Maxwell new has..-wxcept greater• size or luxuries, pure and simple. In other worth they are convinced—and they have convinced us --lust they have found the great MIDDLE LINE where you get dollar for dollar in ABSOLUTE VALUE.

It means that repayment of the money will be spread over ten or twenty years instead of being raised by taxation to meet current expenditures. To raise by taxation all the, money as fast as it is needed to carry -on Canada's share in winning the War, would be an unbearable burden upon the people. It would mean that more than a million dollars a day would have to bo raised right now.' But to raise money by selling Canada's Victory Bonds means that those of the next generation who will benefit by the sacrifices this generation is making; -rv110 will share in the freedom this generation is fighting for and largely paying for—will also pay their share. And when you buy Canada's Victory Bonds you make a first-class business in- vestment in a security that is absolutely safe, likely to enhance in value after the war, and bearing a good rate of interest) You help the country by keeping open the British market' for Canadian products and this helps the general welfare in which you share. * * And again, every Canadian who buns a Victory Bond becomes a financial partner or backer of Canada in the war. When you, buy a Canada Victory Bonk you give a personal pledge that yotl are going to help to win the war. Every elan and woman in Canada can help to win the war by buying Canada' 1 Victory Bonds. And Canada wants the personal, individual interest and co-opera- tion of every inan " and woman in the country. The buying of Victory Bonds by the whole people unites then in a determination to win the war. Every purchase of Canad.a's Victory Bonds is a blow for freedom against the tyranny of German Kultur. • Every bond sold is a new guarantee that Canada is in the war to the finish, until victory is with the Allies and the world has been made safe to live in. Every bond you buy is a new pledge that Canada will remain true to herself, the Zmpire, the Allies and to freedom's cause. o it is both patriotic and good bui- ness to Buy Canada's Victory .Bonds s Issued by Canada's Victory 1.,oatl Committee in co-operation with the l\liaister of 17utafiet* of the Dominion of Canada, 72
