# All Aboard! Buy Victory Bonds

Three toy-like locomotives carry coin loads marked '56c', '84c' and '$1.12 per day' along tracks to stations labelled 'Savings', where $100, $150 and $200 bonds stand 'in 6 months', under the title 'All Aboard!'. The tell for bandwagon is the invitation to board a shared train; the poster also shows the saving amounts it asks of each reader.
