Your Nest Egg for the Future Buy Victory Bonds
A winking owl sits on a branch beside a nest holding a 'Dominion of Canada Victory Loan' bond, against a yellow moon, under 'Your Nest Egg for the Future' and 'BUY VICTORY BONDS'. The poster is mostly a plain savings appeal; the tell is the 'nest egg for the future' phrase, which gives no figure and leans on the owl as a symbol of prudence.
