To the People
of Valley County


We have our own "D-Day" on
May IA. Not one of us must risk
life or limb in battle. Our assign
ment is a lot SIMPLER and easier
than that. IL is to buy war bonds.
Facing a home-front D-Day is
a good deal easier than what our
son. brothers and husbands are
facing on the battlefronts. But
we do have the biggest assign
ment we ever have had in a War
Loan campaign.
Valley county people must buy
S591,240 in war bonds. of this
amount, SALAD is "the peoples
quota" i'm T. bonds. Besides,
S65,00O must be bought in other
individual issues. In addition,
there is a corporation quota of
SIS, 900.
This is our chance to help
speed victory.
