Everything you have or ever hope to have depends on winning this war
Company defense-bond sheet: a red band of stars above large type reading 'Everything you have or ever hope to have depends on winning this war', and a grey band 'Buy U.S. Defense Bonds. See your Foreman for details of Purchase Plan'. No picture; the claim that all one's present and future holds is at stake is a fear-appeal, joined to the bond purchase ask.
