Sure! We'll Finish The Job" carries the slogan of a government bond campaign, and its wording speaks to a country that had already fought most of a war and was asked to keep paying for it. The Victory Liberty Loan was the last of the Liberty Loan drives, launched to help cover the costs of the war even as fighting had ended. Gerrit A. Beneker, a Chicago-trained painter and illustrator, produced many posters for these campaigns, and this one was printed in color by Edwards & Deutsch Lithograph Co. in Chicago. Its bright lithographic color and direct, reassuring message show how much of the wartime effort depended on commercial printing and on posters that urged ordinary citizens to buy bonds.
