# Back the attack! Buy more bonds

Treasury 5th War Loan poster: a man, a woman and a boy in work overalls, two holding hoe or rake handles, stand before a large U.S. flag, with a V-for-victory 5th War Loan badge at lower left. The ordinary working clothes are the plain-folks tell; the flag and the 'attack' wording tie bond buying to the armed forces (transfer).
