Back the attack with war bonds
Type-only poster in blue and red inside a scalloped, stamp-style border: 'Back the' in blue capitals, 'Attack' in large red script, 'with' in blue and 'War Bonds' in red. There is no image, imprint or named issuer; the technique is faint here, a slogan that frames bond buying as taking part in the attack.
