Why YOu Should Buy Them.
The main reason for the purchase
iof War-Savings Stamps is because your
country is at War. Your Country
needs every penny which every man.
woman, and child can save and lend in
order to feed, clothe, arm, and equip
the soldiers and sailors Of America and
to win this righteous war in defense
of American honor and the Aus Of de-
mocracy throughout the world.
If we are to win the war. we must
win it as a united people. The savings
of every man, woman, and child are
necessary If we are to hasten the VIC
torieus ending of the war;: War Savers
are Life Savers.
A single strand in the cables which
uphold the great Brooklyn Suspension
Bridge is not very strong, but thou
sands of these strangs bound together
uphold one of the greatest thorough
fares of the world.
When our fathers and sons and
brothers were called by our country to
take up arms in her defense, you did
not hear an individual refuse to serve
because his service alone would not
win the war. Each man was ready to
do his part. The great army thus
formed is going forward to face the
fire Of battle and to risk everything
for the safety and security of our
homes and our families, and for the
very existence of our country.
These are the men for whom you
are asked to save and lend your dol
lars. -
A country worth fighting for is a
country worth saving for.
To save money is to save life.
