My Daddy Bought Me a Government Bond of the Third Liberty Loan. Did Yours?
A smiling girl with a large red hair bow hugs a bond certificate to her chest. The printed words read 'My Daddy bought me a Government Bond of the Third Liberty Loan. Did yours?' The tell is the child's voice and the closing question, which ties the purchase to a father's duty and asks each household whether it has joined the buyers.
