Enli$t Your Dollars
In the War
In this time of our country’s crisis an idle dollar is
as much a “stacker" as an idle man. Are your dol
lars doing their duty?
“The Liberty Loan of 1917” invites the immediate
response of the American people. Every dollar sub
scribed will help make it a success. The quicker the
better.
Armies of dollars are an absolute necessity for
national defence. Unless the dollars at borne
stand back of them, the soldiers in the Oeld can
not do their utmost to protect dur households
and our freedom.
