A VICTORY BOND is the promise of the Dominion of Canada to repay in cash the face value of the Bond on the date of maturity with half-yearly interest until that time. A Victory Bond is the safest investment in Canada backed by the entire resources of the Dominion. Canada has been issuing bonds for 75 years, and has never failed to pay every dollar of principal and interest when due. A Victory Bond is an asset readily marketable at any time. Yes, a day will come . . . when he'll be back, ready to his place in a Canada he helped make safe for all of us. To speed that day is in our power. We at home ... in factories, in offices, on farms . . . work long hours to hurry it along. We go without, and lend our savings to provide what he needs to win quickly. This is the least that anyone can do. And when that day comes you'll want to welcome him and to help him make his hopes come true. To speed Victory, plan to buy as many Victory Bonds as you can. i i-4 HtionaJ War Finance Commit fet
