I gave a man! Will you give at least 10% of your pay in War Bonds?
A photographic portrait of a woman holding an infant while a toddler leans in beside her, under the headline 'I gave a man!'. The text underneath asks the reader to put at least 10 percent of pay into War Bonds. The family image stands in for a soldier's sacrifice, and the appeal sets a money gift beside it.
