Put Your Share Out Into War Savings and Share in Victory
Text around two panels urges readers to put their share into war savings and 'share in victory': a fighter, warship and tank above, a handshake over the word VICTORY and factory chimneys below. Glittering generalities: 'victory' is left undefined; transfer: the weapons and the handshake are tied directly to the act of saving.
