Faith in Canada : use it for Victory Bonds

Canadian First World War poster issued by the Government to promote the sale of Victory Bonds to finance the war effort. As in other Commonwealth countries Canadian Victory bonds were loans offered by the Government which matured with interest after 5, 10 or 20 years. In Canada there were 5 different Victory loan campaigns between 1915 and 1919 each with its own supporting poster campaign co-ordinated by the Victory Loan Dominion Publicity Committee. This poster depicts a sword with a golden handle lying on top of an open treasure chest. In front of the large chest is a smaller jewellery box and piles of gold coins. In the background silhouetted are five Canadian soldiers in action, one firing a machine gun. The text frames the image top and bottom all set against a yellow background.
