WAR BOND
On a war map of the South Pacific, the little
red-white-and-blue pins march steadily west
ward. - '
Tarawa . . . Makin ... the Marshalls . . . Saipan
...and each move brings the pins closer to
Tokyo.
Each move is mighty expensive business. The
cost is high in dollars. . .the cost is high in men.
To plant the Stars and Stripes on Saipan cost
the lives of more than 2000 American boys. . .
plus some 12,000 wounded and missing.
Naturally, these losses cannot be summed up
in dollars and cents. . .there is not enough
money in the world to bring back 2000 dead
Americans. .
But in guns, ammunition", and other equip
ment, it is estimated that Saipan cost us many
millions of dollars. Each of the many stepping-
stones remaining between our forces and Tokyo
may cost as much or more.
Where is the money coming from?
It's coming from you, and millions of Ameri
cans like you... from the taxes you pay, and
from the War Bonds you buy.
And while it may pinch a little, buying those
Bonds is the smartest thing you ever did.
For the dollars you put in Bonds not only help
win the war. They come back to you later and
bring more dollars with them. .
In this postwar world we're going to build,
they'll be the most valuable dollars anybody
ever owned.
