good"__

have seemed fabulous a few years ago Maybe you have fallen o little short now and then: maybe it
couldn't be helped but by your love of freedom, if it can be helped—don t let anything keep, you
from your work bench a minute: don't let anything keep you from buying only absolute necessities,
so that you'll have as much money as possible to put into War Bonds. Remember folks— the more
Bonds and Sweot the Less Blood and Tears. For every which way you help speed Victory, you cut
time off the length of this war, and that means saving the lives of fellows ike me who have homes
ond families to get back to! Thanks again, for what you’ve done so for— I’ll be counting on you; ond
you can sure count on me!
