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 a image of an agricultural scene in the centre top, a wheat field close to harvest. The text urges Canadians to buy Victory Bonds so that the Canadian agricultural economy can continue to boom. The message text is positioned in the centre and lower quarter and translates as ' Canada's grain cannot be sold unless you buy Victory bonds' . An English language version of this poster was also issued (see ARTV00460).
