This lithograph asks its viewers a pointed question: is there anything the soldiers in the trenches need that you would not give them? The poster then tells readers that every Liberty Bond they buy helps win the war. In 1917 the federal government began selling Liberty Bonds to finance the American war effort, and campaigns like this one used posters, rallies, and newspaper advertising to reach ordinary households. Appeals that tied personal purchases to the welfare of men overseas were a central part of that effort.
