Help control inflation by investing in War Bonds!
A type-only sheet in red and black. It argues that 'more money than goods' means rising prices, less for your money and a lower standard of living, and urges readers to invest every possible dollar in War Bonds. Bad outcomes are listed and a single remedy offered, a fear-appeal in plain list form.
