Under the slogan "Every dollar spent in Canada," this 1918 color lithograph argues that money kept at home sustains the country's own prosperity. Canada ran a series of Victory Loan drives during the First World War to finance its military effort, and posters like this one were a main tool for persuading ordinary citizens to buy bonds. The poster ties personal saving to national economic strength, reflecting how far the war had pushed Canadian industry and public borrowing by 1918.
