The question printed across the top of this 1915 lithograph asks whether a subscription can ask of a household the same sacrifice that soldiers' families already carry. That framing, pressing the home front to match the front lines, is what sets this poster apart from the general run of wartime appeals. It was issued to drum up support for the Canadian Patriotic Fund, which gave money to the dependents of men serving overseas during the First World War. Posters like this one used guilt and shared purpose to turn donating into a patriotic duty.
