It’s do… or die… Canadians! Lend to Defend our way of Life
Today the crisis in our history draws near. The freedom which has been won by generations of our forebears, is threatened with destruction.
If we neglect to do our all, our civilization may topple into oblivion. Our children may grope again through the dark ages, enslaved, oppressed, devoid of hope.
Today Canada needs your help. Canada must arm to teeth – at once. Canada must crowd seven years of preparation into two.
You are only asked to lend – to invest in Victory Bonds. Your country needs your savings. Your country will repay you with interest.
When you buy Victory Bonds, all Canada is your security. They pay a good rate of interest. They are the most liquid form of investment. Without trouble or delay, Victory Bonds can be turned into cash at any time.
How to buy
Give your order to the canvasser who calls on you. Or place it in the hands of any branch of any bank, or give it to any trust company. Or send it to your local Victory Loans Headquarters. Bonds may be bought in denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and larger. Canvasser, bank, trust company or your local Victory Loan Headquarters will be glad to give you every assistance in making out your order form.
Help Finish the Job Buy Victory Bonds!
