Its slogan makes the appeal plainly: unless citizens lend their money to the government, liberty itself might perish. The United States Treasury sold Liberty Bonds to finance the nation's war effort, and posters like this one were displayed in post offices, banks and storefronts to reach ordinary households that had never bought a government security. Such posters paired patriotic urgency with an argument that a bond purchase was a civic duty rather than a simple investment. It is worth noticing how directly the text ties private savings to the survival of the nation.
