Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty stand together here, a pairing that asks Americans to back the war effort with their savings. The slogan, credited to Treasury Secretary William G. McAdoo, sets dollars against the lives of soldiers, a blunt comparison suited to the Second Liberty Loan drive of October 1917. Dan Sayre Groesbeck, an illustrator, produced the design, which belongs to the wave of bond posters that circulated widely across the country during World War I.
