Your Turn to Ring the Bell! Buy Victory Bonds, 1939 Canada poster: Cartoon workers, a woman in a headscarf and a man

Your Turn to Ring the Bell! Buy Victory Bonds

Cartoon workers, a woman in a headscarf and a man in an apron swing mallets at a strength-tester that rings a bell, beside three red panels that price $100, $150 and $200 bonds by the day. The tell for plain-folks is ordinary working people as the figures of participation; the panels give daily amounts and a six-month period.
