This lithograph ties a Liberty Bond drive to the cigar trade, with the Statue of Liberty presiding over a call to buy a $50 bond at the United Cigar Stores Company's retail outlets. The United Cigar Stores chain sold tobacco and was a familiar presence in American cities, so the sponsor's name places the advertisement in everyday commercial life. The text refers to the third issue of Liberty Bonds, which the federal government sold in 1918 to help finance American participation in World War I. Posters like this one used patriotic imagery and simple appeals to persuade ordinary citizens to lend money to the war effort.
