Come on! Let's finish the job. Buy Victory bonds.
Description
Canadian First World War poster issued by the Government to promote the sale of Victory Bonds to finance the war effort. As in other Commonwealth countries Canadian Victory bonds were loans offered by the Government which matured with interest after 5, 10 or 20 years. In Canada there were 5 different Victory loan campaigns between 1915 and 1919 each with its own supporting poster campaign co-ordinated by the Victory Loan Dominion Publicity Committee. This poster features the portrait of a soldier putting on his uniform. The title and text are positioned in the lower half and urges Canadians to buy Victory Bonds as a way to help the soldiers finish the War. A French version of this poster was also produced (ARTV00192).
