The poster's title, "4 reasons for buying Victory Bonds," sets it apart from the many war-bond images on this board by making its argument in numbered form, a sales pitch aimed at ordinary Canadians. Canada issued Victory Bonds during the First World War to help finance the army and the war effort, and posters like this one were a central tool for persuading citizens to lend their savings to the government. The record gives a publisher's name as unknown and a date of 1917, so the lithograph reflects the peak years of Canada's wartime campaigns. Its color printing and direct text are worth noticing as examples of how propaganda was packaged for mass audiences.
