To raise money for the costs of World War I, the Federal Government began issuing war bonds. When the first round was not as successful as hoped, artists were commissioned to make more compelling posters, like this one. Purchasing war bonds came to be seen as a patriotic duty, and several more sets were issued during the war.
This primary source comes from the Records of the U.S. Food Administration.
