Description
A black and white negative of a car decorated in advertisements for a Victory Loan campaign during World War Two. View is of the side of the car. A model of an aircraft is on top of a model of a bomb on the hood of the car. On the roof of the car is a sign that states "CANADA Calling ENGLAND" and underneath this sign is a second sign with the words "WE SHALL NOT FAIL" displayed. The word shall is underlined. Along the sides of the second sign are large model bullets. This negative was found in a box of Marjorie Ruddy negatives and has started to degrade. There is no information about the negative.
Notes
Victory Loan campaigns were established by the Government of Canada during the World Wars to raise funds for the war effort.

Marjorie Georgina Ruddy (1908-1980) was a prominent Whitby photographer and the only commercial photographer in Whitby during the 1930s and 1940s. Marjorie was the official photographer for the Whitby Police Department starting in the 1930s and as a result took many photographs of car accidents, fingerprints and crime scenes. (Station Gallery.
