This month, the millions of men and women in the Pay
roll Savings Plan are being extra smart.
Here's how, and why:
In the first place, this war isn't getting any cheaper
It's going to cost just about much in 1o45, it
did in 1o44
No matter what happens to Germany, when,
thereH be easing up The quickest way to end the
whole nasty business is to keep going full steam ahead
But this year, there will be only TWO War Loans
instead of three, as there we're in 1914.
That means we've got to lend, in 2 chunks, as much
lent last year in 1t that in the 9TH War
Loan, which starts next month"; each of will have to
buy BIGGER share of extra War Bonds!
