HAVE YOU KEPT YOUR PROMISE?
Months ago when the boys went across you made a contract with them. You said if they would go over and fight your battles for you you'd back them up.
You followed bands and cheered patriotic speeches and you hoped we'd lick the everlasting stuffing out of the baby-killing Huns.
Well, the boys did it. -They fought and won a victory-your victory. They kept their part of the contract. Most of them are still over there on watch, guarding the Victory they won.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
Have you backed up the boys in war finance? -Have you set aside all you can afford for the Victory Liberty Loan?
Remember! The Yanks are watching you just as intently as they are watching the Rhine. They have a right to know who supported them and who did not.
The Yank did more than his share, he gave; you are asked only to lend. Time was money to him and he gave this time freely, every minute of it, for months and even years.
The money you lend the Government is paid back with interest. The time the soldier gave to his country can never be replaced or returned to him.
What will you tell the returning soldiers? Can you face them and answer with a clear conscience? Not if you are able to invest in the Victory Liberty Loan and fail to do so.
You should be grateful for victory and subscribe to the last loan according to the measure of your gratitude.
YOUR PROMISE WAS SACRED. SEE THAT YOU KEEP IT SO.
