America's Fighting Men Have Pledged Their Lives For YouI Pledge At least 10 Pet Cent Of Your Income For Theml THE MINUTE MAN who will call on you lor your pledge dur-, ing Illinois' great three-day War Bond Pledge Drive is one of a huge army oi volunteer workers who arc giving their time and effort to help raise money for their country ... your country. They will call on every single home in Illinois. Not one home . . . not one person who receives or can earn an income of any kind ... will be overlooked. So be ready when the Minute Man calls. Be ready to pledge as much as you can afford out of your income -- regularly. Talk this over -- right now .:» with your whole family, and decide **how much you can put into War Bonds every payday. Remember, s minimum of 10 per c§uS of your ktcome is needed. ^ , ^ - Pledge It Confidential At you can see when you read die 'pledge, the information you give.it Strictly confidential. It is not an order. It is not a contract. It is a voluntary r expression on your part of your willingness to let the United States have m part of your income fo^a short time, repayable with interest. If you are Already buying War Bonds, sign the fledge showing you are buying on a 'ay Roll Savings or other plan, because the U. S. Treasury Department needs to know exactly how much jjioney it can depend on borrowing every week, every month, every year, (from you and millions of other patri» • otic, Americans. , ' Best Investment In the HWlW When you buy War Bonds you are not giving anything to anybody. You are making the best and most patriotic investment in the world. One that is guaranteed--both principal and interest-- by all the resources of the United States government. Before Pearl Harbor these bonds were called Defense Bonds. Now they are War Bonds -- technically, U. S. War Savings Bonds. The Secretary of the Treasury has stated that our vast needs for armament indicate that every wage-eamer, every business man, every farmer, every professional man, everyone who receives or can> yearn income of any kind should put at least 10 per ceptjoi |h£t income iflfcr War Bonds. That may be easy for some; H mty - mean sacrifices for others. But our fighting men are making sacrifices every day--: often for lack of equipment these bonds would buy. We've all had to do without eertain things the last few months -- tilings people in other countries have never had. But there's one thing sure we can't do without -- Victory. Remember that when the Minute Man knocks on your door to get your pledge. j Be readyi Sign the pledge--arid pledge plenty t WAR SAVINGS STAFF OF ILLINOIS . . •• .
