For the future: worth fighting for, worth saving for
War bond poster: a photograph of a woman's hands knitting a baby bootie sits above red and blue diagonal stripes and the text 'Worth fighting for ... worth saving for!'. The infant's garment stands for 'the future' (transfer), and the payroll plan is tied to the Third War Loan Campaign.
