Elles servent la France. Tout le monde peut servir. Souscrivons à l'Emprunt de la Victoire (Canada)
Three women in peasant dress lean into chains and ropes to pull a plough across a field. The French-language slogan says 'They serve France' and 'Everyone can serve', then asks the reader to subscribe to the Victory Loan. Hardship of women in wartime France is offered as the standard of service, and the bond purchase is presented as the reader's equivalent of it (transfer).
