Victory
Loan
Campaign
this
public
tribute
is
paid
to
all
who
have
bought
Victory
Bonds.
Particular
credit
is
due
to
those
who,
week
by
week,
year
after
year,
have
saved
money
to
buy
Bonds.
All

oA'ti
Victory

a
per

record
of
which
we
can
be
proud.
When
first
they
bought
Victory
Bonds,
people
did
not
buy
them
so
much
as
an.
investment,
but
from
the
noble
motive
of
supporting
those
who
had
gone
forth
to
war.
But
they
know
now
that
they
are
owners
of
the
safest
and
finest
investment
in
Canada.
The
patriotic
motive
for
buying
Victory
Bonds
should
still
inspire
us
to
keep
faith
with
those
enduring
the
ordeal
of
battle.
But
there
is
another
reason
for
buying
Victor'
Bonds
which
becomes
of
increasing
importance
as
the
struggle
reaches
its
climax.
That
reason
is
to
accumulate
personal
savings
in
the
"
form
of
Victory
Bonds
so
as
to
provide
your
own
personal
capital
with
which
to
take
advantage
of
post-war
opportunities.
v
There
is
no
better
security
for
a
Bank
loan
than
Victory
Bonds,
and
no
better
evidence
of
character
upon
which
to
establish
credit.
If
an
emergency
arises
they
are
readily
saleable.
Meantime,
your
savings
earn
the
attractive
interest
rate
of
3.
Victory
Bonds
are
your
Pass
Key
to
open
the
door
to
Post-War
opportunities.
Finally,
when
you

Bonds
