Here is the text of a Government War Loan poster
of 55 years ago.
You have a solemn duty to perform
to your government and to posterity!
Our gallant Army and Navy must be supported by every man
and woman who have any means, large or small, at their con
trol. The United States government, to which we owe our pros
perity as a nation, security of person and property of every sort,
calls on each individual to rally to its support—not with dona
tions or gifts—though who could withhold them—BUT AV1TII
SUBSCRIPTIONS TO HER LOANS, based on the best secur
ity in the world.
Your nearest patriotic Bank or Banker will
supply this loan, on which so much depends.
