For a secure future

Name/Title

For a secure future

Description

The young farmer depicted in this poster is shown clutching numerous war bonds in one hand as he cradles what can be interpreted as his future in the other. A house, a barn, a truck, a tractor – as well as his graduation – all depict an ideal future. All of this will happen if the war is won – and that might happen if he purchases war bonds to help the war effort
