# Send a Bond to the Folks Back Home

Bond-purchase sheet for servicemen: a wide-eyed Santa Claus in a steel helmet with holly, holding a pay slip, under the headline 'Send a Bond to the Folks Back Home'. The Christmas figure with military kit attaches holiday giving to a bond allotment, and the line 'See Your Finance Officer' gives the action.
