WAR BONDS are the means of preventing ruinous inflation. LET'S BUST 'EM Wide Open BUST EM Wide Open ITS IN THE AIR. You can feel it, every time the Axis is struck. This is the climax year, the year of decision. In history, 1944 will be the big year of the war—every stroke for victory counts more now. That’s why it’s vitally important for every American to be his post, doing his part right now. You, personally, have an important job in winning the war—buying War Bonds. It’s not glamorous—no, not even a sacrifice, really, because you are only lending your money, to be returned with interest. But it is essential to complete victory. Your part in this year of decision is at least one extra $100 Bond, above your regular Bond buying. That is your minimum individual quota. But don’t stop there. Remember wars are won only by all-out effort. So buy $200, $300, $500 worth—buy more than you can afford. And buy your Bonds where you work—at the plant or at the office. Your country is counting on you—let’s make the year of decision OUR year! This sticker in your window means you have bought 4th War Loan securities. Let's All BACK THE ATTACK!
