We haven't forgotten this boy ...have you?
hasn't forgoMen.
We haven’t forgotten, either, soldier.
Not you—or the hundreds of thousands of
other veterans who have sweated and bled and
given their hands, legs, eyes, minds—yes, and
their lives —while we sat at home, cheering.
ON OCTOBER 29T1the last—and the most
important—Bond drive yet made in this war
begins . . . the great Victory Loan.
Secretary of the Treasury Vinson has directed
a message to every firm in this city—just as he
did to us —asking for co-operation in this—your
chance to express your thanks to the boys who
won this war.
He is asking labor and management, working
together, to contribute once more, as they have
done so successfully in the past, to the achieve
ment of E Bend goals.
The only wey this can be accomplished is
by accepting a definite quota—and then
meeting it. Both the men and women on pay
rolls and the plants themseives should accept
these quotas.
The great Victory Loan will help provide cash
for many purposes.
It will help raise the money to get our boys
home. It must raise the money to give them their
mustering-out pay and veterans benefits — edu
cational and all the rest. •
' It will help pay for war goods already used and
take care of contract terminations.
Most important, it will do everything money
can do to help patch up the broken bodies and
lives of men like this.
For this is the loan with a heart. Of all loan*
in this war, it is the most human. It pays for heal
ing instead of killing—mercy instead of pain.
Can any businessman look a Victory Bond
salesman in the eye and say the Victory Loan is
less important than the others—or that he can
not piedge his. firm to meet the quota which the
Treasury asks him to accept?
We think not. And so we here sign our names
in pledge that we accept our quota and will d»
everything in our power to meet it.
We know we can count on other America*
to do the same.
