# Chairman and President - Canadian Pacific Railway Company

A framed studio portrait of a bespectacled man sits above white text in his voice and a facsimile signature, signed as chairman and president of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, under the company shield. The tell for testimonial is the signed endorsement from the company head; for glittering-generalities, the 'proud record' and 'magnificent war effort', virtue words offered in place of any figure on what the bonds fund.

```
I am confident that Canadian Pacific men and women will maintain their proud record by generously responding to the call to buy Canada's Fifth Victory Loan Bonds, and thus again support the magnificent war effort of more than 17,000 Company people and all other Canadians on Active Service at Home and Abroad.

CHAIRMAN and PRESIDENT
