Buy that invasion bond!
Painted beach-assault scene: infantry with submachine gun and rifles climb a bank above landing craft, with burning ships, explosions and aircraft overhead, under the headline 'Buy that invasion bond!'. The danger of combat is tied directly to the purchase (transfer), with the burning vessels adding a fear-appeal note.
