A bond appeal that counts the years from Columbus's 1492 landing to 1918 ties the war effort to the nation's origins, calling the Saturday of October 12 "Liberty Day." That date fell within the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, when the federal government sold bonds to help pay for the war and Americans were urged to buy them. The record also names Cigars United, which suggests how businesses joined the drive by putting their names on patriotic appeals. The slogan, promising liberty "today, tomorrow and forever," reflects the wartime language that presented buying debt as a civic duty.
