She's ready, too. Buy war bonds
War bond sheet: a woman in a yellow suit with a shoulder bag walks forward in front of a large black silhouette of a Minuteman-style militiaman with musket and plough. The headline reads 'She's Ready, Too' over 'BUY WAR BONDS'. Transfer: the historic soldier-farmer figure is placed behind a present-day woman to link bond buying to the Revolutionary tradition.
