Description: This poster was created in 1919 by the Liberty Loan Committee of New England to promote the Victory or Fifth Liberty Bond campaign. In April 24th 1917, 18 days after the declaration of the state of war (WWI), Congress authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds of the United States to the extent of $5,000,000,000. Twelve committees were created, one for every Federal Reserve District. These committees were entrusted with the work of selling the bonds in their respective districts. Every city, town and village had its own Liberty Loan Committee as part of the war effort. The fifth and last Liberty Bond campaign, named Victory, started in March 1919 after the war was over. The bonds could be paid in cash or installments at any bank. The total number of subscribers to this loan was 11,803,895. Buying bonds soon became a patriotic duty and a reason for American pride. You were given buttons to wear when you bought your bonds, so you could show your patriotism. The posters promoting the Liberty Bonds were mainly based in these ideas of patriotism, pride and freedom. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.
