How much should I give?" asks this 1915 lithograph, and it answers with a price: $16 a month to keep a man at the front. The Canadian Patriotic Fund, which the poster promotes, was founded in 1914 to support the families of soldiers serving overseas, many of whom lost a wage earner when men enlisted. Text-only posters like this one were part of a wider wartime effort that presented private giving as a patriotic duty. Its direct, numbered appeal shows how fundraising at the time turned money into a personal form of service.
