# A Savings Group is a Victory Group

A red and blue banner poster sets the slogan 'A Savings Group is a Victory Group' with the V of 'Savings' and the capital V of 'Victory' picked out in yellow. The tell is the transfer of the victory letter onto the word 'Savings', so that putting money into a savings group is presented as a part of winning the war.
