The line "America gave you all you have to give, give it," followed by "she needs it now," makes this poster unusual because it speaks in the voice of the nation as a figure calling for help, rather than simply urging people to buy bonds. Issued in 1917, the year the United States entered World War I, it came from the Committee on Public Information's Division of Pictorial Publicity, the government agency that commissioned artists to produce posters for the war effort. Its focus on workers and economic sacrifice reflects how the government asked ordinary Americans to channel their earnings into war bonds and relief funds.
