# Memo for Today - Buy More Victory Bonds

A close portrait of a young woman in a pink jacket holds a pencil over a shorthand notepad, under the words 'Memo for today' and above 'Buy more Victory Bonds'. The tell is the virtue word 'Victory' attached to a financial purchase, with the secretary's note-taking framing the bond as a daily task.
