THIS CHRISTMAS
HELP TO RISTORI PEACE ON EARTH-
¡ft
s/ Hand tome
F/^MEN'S
/
HIS year our memories of other happier Christ­
mases are more vivid than ever. The stockings,
the trees, the carols, the family reunions—memories
of all of these make us yearn more strongly than ever
for the safe return of our husbands, brothers, eons
and daughters who are far from home.
So the foremost hope of all of us is that peace shall
once more return to this earth—and soon.
You can help to speed tfie day of victory and peace
by giving War Bonnie and Stamps this Christmas.
Every War Bond, every Stamp, you buy and give
helps mould more bullets—load more shells—launch
more ships—lift more planes into the skiesl
Every War Bond, every Stamp, you buy and give
will help to dictate the terms of the Armistice—and
write a peace that will endure.
T
So give U. S. War Bonds and Stamps to everyone
on your Christmas list. Give and give generously I
Remember—«very War Bond and Stamp is more
nun a jtresent for the one who receive* it. irs a gift ■
of peace and happiness and safety for some soldier or
sailor besides!
