A little girl speaks for this poster, asking whether her father bought her a government bond and then asking the viewer whether theirs did too. Issued under the Committee on Public Information, the federal government's wartime propaganda agency, it belongs to the Liberty Loan drives that helped finance American participation in World War I. Posters like this often targeted families as well as adults, presenting a financial pledge as a matter of household pride and patriotic duty. The child's direct address makes it one of the more personal appeals of the war-bond era.
