# Pledge Your Savings to Hasten Victory - Buy War Savings Certificates Regularly!

Red, white and blue bands carry the slogan 'Pledge your savings to hasten victory', trailed by three aircraft silhouettes, with a thumbs-up emblem and 'Buy War Savings Certificates - Regularly!'. The tells are the virtue-word 'victory' in place of a stated use of funds and the aircraft imagery attached to a savings appeal.
