This poster was issued by the Compagnie des Notaires de Paris, the association of Paris notaries, and it urges readers to "subscribe, all of you" to the fourth National Defense Loan. France financed much of its war effort through domestic bonds like these, so the government relied on posters, newspapers, and civic groups to persuade ordinary citizens to lend their savings to the state. The notaries, who handled property and legal transactions and were trusted intermediaries in their communities, gave the appeal weight among middle-class savers. Notice how the text speaks to everyone at once, framing a financial purchase as a patriotic duty.
