For Freedom's sake, Buy War Bonds
War-bond poster: a bronze Minuteman statue with musket and plough stands beside a New England village green with a white meeting house. Blue type reads 'For Freedom's Sake' and red type 'BUY WAR BONDS'. The tell is transfer: the authority of the Revolutionary-era citizen-soldier and the village is attached to buying bonds, under the glittering generality 'freedom'.
