Spend pennies to repair the

INVEST IN VICTORY!
Our boys can take the War to the enemy, if we back them
up with ships and tanks and guns! But that takes money!
Help your Government to put the tools of war into the
hands of our soldiers by purchasing War Savings Bonds and
Stamps. And remember . . . just one Bond can't lick the
Axis any more than just one gun! It takes millions of
Americans buying War Savings Bonds and Stamps every
payday!
Bonds cost $18.75 and up . . . and they pay you back
one-third more in only 10 years ! Stamps cost 10& 25tf, and
up . . . soon total the price of a Bond if bought regularly.
Help our boys on the fighting fronts wherever they may
be ! Buy War Savings Bonds as an investment for yourself
and your country.
