Its sponsorship sets this poster apart from other Liberty Loan appeals: it was issued under the names of the Vigilantes and the National Security League, civilian groups that promoted wartime patriotism and bond sales. Herbert Paus's color lithograph, printed at a large size of about 91 by 142 centimeters, makes its case with a simple promise that buying government bonds would help make the world a decent place to live in. Its imagery of soldiers and the American flag ties personal savings to the men fighting overseas. Posters like this were a major way the government reached ordinary households during the First World War.
