# Dig down deep! Buy twice as many Bonds in the mighty 7th War Loan

Treasury bond poster: a sleeve patterned with stars (Uncle Sam) holds out a fan of $100 bonds toward a figure in overalls whose hand rests in a pocket, with bombers over wrecked tanks behind. 'Dig down deep!' links the worker's pocket to the war scene; the 7th War Loan, a stated goal of twice as many bonds, is named at the foot.
