AMERICA — Let's be frank about it ... so far, many of us back
SjL home have been fighting this war from an easy chair.
Many of us have bought War Bonds out of extra cash, out of
money we didn't miss too much. We haven't been really tough
with ourselves.
But this war is a hard, down-to-realiiy war. And many of our
hoys are dying in it.
We've got to buy MORE
So your government asks you to buy Bonds and more Bonds — to
get really tough with yourself. We're asking you to give up the
frills and "extras" for the rest of this war.
We know how human it is not to make sacrifices until the crisis
drives us to it. In England they felt the same way until the bombs
started falling. Now they car 't do enough! J
Bombs are such persuasive things. But just as persuasive ought
to be the spirit of our brothers, sons, husbands — who are ready to
give all. Think now . . . what are your dollars, compared to
their lives? ,
If you could see
Look at it this way — suppose you had a magic carpet that could
take you to Africa and New Guinea. Suppose you could hear the
groan of American boys wounded, and American boys dying . . .
Say now, how many Bonds would you buy?
That kind of war
THEY . . . are dying. And they will keep on dying until we drown
the enemy in an overwhelming torrent of bombs, bullets, guns,
tanks, planes, ships, and shells.
That's why we're asking you, in this one month of April alone,
to lend Uncle Sam 13 billions of dollars — by buying War Bonds.
13 billions of extra dollars — over and above any buying that you'd
be doing anyway!
A lot of money
Of course, 13 billion dollars is a lot of money. It'll take sweat and
tears to raise it. It'll mean going without now. But also—it will
mean savings now—to buy later. It'll mean giving up everything
you can't square with your conscience, so that we, us, our children,
can have a better, more decent place to live in when this war is won.
The drive is on
So during this month of April, if someone calls on you to ask you to
buy War Bonds in this 2ND WAR LOAN DRIVE, will you buy to
the limit—and then buy more?
Better yet, will you go to your Bank, Postoffice, or wherever
you're used to buying your Bonds — and buy NOW? Will you
lend extra money this month? Money that can hasten the day of
Victory? Money that can help to save American lives—perhaps your
son's or your brother's or your husband's—by helping to shorten
this war?
Money buys money
Remember, what you're really buying with your money is still more
money. For after all, these Bonds are money! Monev plus! Every
dollar you put into War Bonds will bring you a dollar plus interest.
So the more Bonds you buy the better for you. Americans —-
Get Tough — with yourselves — for your country.
