Description

Canadian First World War poster issued by War Poster Service to sell Victory Bonds to the population to raise money for the War. The victory bonds were a loan to the Canadian Government which could be redeemed with interest over 5 to 20 years. In total 5 different campaigns were held in Canada between 1915 and 1919. Each release of victory bonds, as in other Allied nations, was supported by a poster campaign overseen by the Victory Loan Dominion Publicity Committee. This poster printed with text only in vivid yellow, red and black urges citizens to take advantage of the high level of guaranteed interest. A French language version of this poster was also produced (see ARTV00480)
