Are You on Payroll of Honor?

Our Country is at War.

We are at war because of a treacherous attack by a Totalitarian Nation opposed to every ideal Americans hold dear.

Democratic America is slow to arouse, but when we go to war we go in to win. We MUST win for we have our heritage of freedom our legacy of independence at stake.

Moreover the freedom of men and women in all the Democracies of the world hangs in the balance in this war.

All-out war, total war, costs money. The price will be billions of dollars and those billions of dollars must come from the pockets of the American people, your pockets. No price is too dear for us Americans to pay for the right to live our way of life; no cost is too great for the defense of our sacred Bill of Rights.

Our Government has provided a method which will help provide the necessary funds to meet the cost of war, and in addition will give every man, woman and child who so invests, a comfortable savings nest egg for the future—the lending of our money through the sale of Defense Savings Bonds or Stamps.

For us it's either a question of Bonds, or Bondage. Which do you prefer?

The American, and the Democratic, way is for the volunteer purchase of Defense Savings Bonds or Stamps, regularly, systematically, without pressure or coercion.

So let's do it the American way. The easiest, the most efficient and the most businesslike way is through some Payroll Savings Plan, whereby each pay day we authorize our employers to set aside a specified sum for the purchase of a Defense Savings Bond.

Systematic, universal Defense payroll savings from the 40,000,000 workers in America is the simplest, easiest method to reach this goal to provide the necessary money to defend adequately America by providing our fighting men with the supplies and equipment they need on the battle fronts.

So let's make every payroll in the Nation a Defense Savings payroll.

Let's make a payroll of Honor.

Are you on such a payroll?
