The headline does most of the persuading. It sets the number two million against a plea to buy more Liberty Bonds, turning a financial pledge into something that feels personal and countable. The U.S. Treasury sold Liberty Bonds to help pay for American participation in the First World War, and each wartime loan drive relied on posters like this one to reach people in shops, workplaces and public spaces. Its 1918 date places it among the later appeals of that campaign, when the government was still asking the public to lend more.
