Hurry! Buy more bonds thru payroll savings
A type-only poster in blue, white and red diagonal bands: 'An official war message - HURRY!' in large white capitals, 'Buy More Bonds' in black brush script, and 'thru PAYROLL-SAVINGS' in white on red. There is no picture. The urgency word and the patriotic colour scheme carry the ask; no reason beyond 'official war message' is given.
