This 1918 poster from the Banque Nationale de Crédit carries the line "Pour le dernier quart d'heure... aidez-moi!" ("For the last quarter hour... help me!"), urging French savers to subscribe to a war loan. Bank-sold government bonds were a major way France paid for its army and its munitions, and the appeal's urgency fits the final months of fighting, when the country still depended on private savings to see the effort through. The poster's short, direct wording was meant to be taken in at a glance from a street wall.
