Liberty Bonds Are Fighting Bonds. Buy Them!
A text-only sheet in large red and black capitals reads 'Liberty Bonds are Fighting Bonds. Buy Them!' with a small imprint naming the Liberty Loan Committee of the Second Federal Reserve District. There is no picture. The tell is the slogan's equation of a purchase with fighting, followed by a bare command.
