Fight or buy bonds" sets out the choice in blunt terms, the kind of appeal the U.S. government relied on during the Liberty Loan drives. The country entered the war in April 1917, and the Treasury turned to Liberty Bonds to help pay for it, with posters like this one carrying the message into streets, storefronts and public squares. The "Third" in the title likely refers to one of the later loan campaigns, and the pairing of a call to fight with a call to invest shows how closely civilian finance was tied to the war effort on the home front.
