This poster speaks directly to women, urging them to make every penny do the work of two and to put their savings into the war loan. It was published in London by the Parliamentary War Savings Committee, and the date, 1915, appears in brackets because the record supplies it rather than the print itself. The color lithograph was printed by David Allen & Sons in Harrow, a firm known for its wartime poster work. Britain financed much of the war through borrowing, and campaigns like this one tried to turn household thrift into national funding.
