Free Storage of Liberty Bonds; Keep Those You Have and Buy More
Liberty Loan Committee of New England.
Original Poster mounted on foam board. Image measures 28" x 21 1/2"
This original World War I-era poster published by the Liberty Loan Committee of New England advertises free storage for liberty bonds, and discourages bond owners from selling or exchanging their bonds. Text reads "Owners with small amount of Liberty Bonds, with no safe place to keep them, should go to any bank, trust company, or safety deposit company. Where possible they will store them without charge. Beware of Speculators. Pay no attention to advertisement offering to buy Liberty Bonds. You bought them to uphold the Government during the greatest test it has ever had. When you sell your bonds you are a quitter! Do not exchange your bonds for any other bond or stock. There is no security better than Liberty Bonds. If kept until they mature they will be paid in full." Includes an illustration of a sun with eyes rising over the mountains and the caption "Save to buy and buy to keep! to-day buy that liberty bond". War loan posters like this one were produced in great volume during the First World War to encourage people to support the war effort financially. The poster is in very good condition.
