What are YOU doing to help pay the cost

they use, it costs Uncle Sam TWO HUN
DRED MILLION DOLLARS to build

cost of training the 10000 men who make up
their crewsD

its cost runs into fantastic figures. 100000
American wage earners are now putting an
average of 10 percent of each pay check into
War Bonds every pay day -. but still it
isn't enough!
Our air raids on the Axis are increasing in
frequency and intensity. When land opera
tons really get going, the cost will be
staggering.

CUPPOSE, in the dusk of an English
~ evening, 1000 huge bombers soar over
the Channel and head for Berlin.
BY the time those planes return to England,
their motors will have consumed 100000
gallons of gasoline!
The cost :. of the gasoline ALONE
:. will be more than $380,000.
To pay for the gasoline used on ONE such
raid, 10000 Americans would have to invest
at least 10 percent of their next pay check in
War Bonds!
You get big kick out of reading about
those 1,000-plane raids. You know that
such raids, if repeated often enough, will
soften up the Axis. But -.

More and more Americans must join the
already in the Pay Roll Savings Plan must
begin to jack up their War Bond purchases
!. must start to invest more than 10
percent!
Remember :. War Bonds are the finest
investment in the world today. You get
back 81 for every So you invest. And
the more War Bonds you buy now, the
quicker the Axis will be licked and the
less the war will cost in the long run.
Think it over. And every time you're

don't absolutely need-put it in War Bonds
instead!
