Bonds. This amount is approximately 50 greater than required in any previ ous War Loan Drive. Purchases for April, May and June, will apply against this quota. The Seventh War Loan will be one of the two great war loans planned for 1945. More money will have to be raised in this War Loan than ever before. The money is needed first of all to help pay for the war, now at a critical stage, and secondly to get excess money into war bonds as a means of protecting the men and the women who work for you. It is the plan of the Seventh War Loan to pay particular attention to the sale of E Bonds to workers through the medium of the Payroll Savings Plan. The Payroll Drive starting in April, and all Payroll buying plus buying through cash or increased allotments during the months of APRIL, MAY and JUNE will be credited to the Seventh War Loan Drive.
