TJfii;
You’re not asked to prove your prowess in death-dealing combat as these
men are doing . . . for America and you. That’s their job! Yours is to add the
might of your dollars to the might of cur fighting men.
The mighty Seventh War Loan was the biggest yet, and we have reason to
be proud of Georgia’s share in it, but we must remember that although our
troops have gained a Victory over nazism and fascism.in Europe . .* . at great
cost in human life, munitions, and dollars, we still remain at war with Japan.
Our fighting men know the cost this nation must still bear: in human life, muni
tions and dollars. If you were to ask them—they’d advise you to keep on buying
Bonds, to buy Bonds as never before—BIGGER AND MORE—to hasten the
end of Japan . . . the end of the final phase of World War II.
