Faith in Canada: use it all for Victory Bonds (Canada, 1918)

Victory Loan poster: silhouetted soldiers advance through wire at dawn behind an open treasure chest, a sword laid across it and coins and pearls spilling out. The virtue phrase 'Faith in Canada' stands in for any stated terms of the bond, and the front-line scene is placed beside the money so that buying a bond reads as sharing in the fighting.
