“To every home there comes a time when every thought, every hope, every prayer for the future centres on the recovery of one loved one. In that hour of anguish, every means to recovery is sought—the highest medical skill, trained nurses, costly treatment. Does the price matter?
It may mean doing without things they think they need. It may mean privations, sacrifices, hardships. They make unbelievable savings, they achieve the impossible, but they get the money to pay.
To-day in this critical period of our nationhood, there is imperative need for MONEY—vast sums of money. Only one way now remains to obtain it. The nation must save, every community, every family, every individual Canadian must save.
Start TO-DAY. Save your money so that you may be in a position to lend it to your country in its time of need.
Published under the Authority of The Minister of Finance of Canada.”
