« Un Port de la côte Est » : Halifax en temps de guerre, 1939-1945

Advertisements for Victory Bonds appeared on trams and in newspapers. The Halifax Chronicle, 16 June 1941, p.5, carried an advertisement titled "Workers All: Back up our Fighting Men Their cause is yours". The ad continued, "You the worker, are asked to invest your savings, and some of your wages, in Victory Bonds. You are not asked to give, but to lend. All of Canada is your security for repayment. A good rate of interest and a gratified sense of loyalty are your rewards. Invest generously and cheerfully. Act now. Make sure your dollars will have a glorious share in helping to crush the barbaric power that would make slaves of free men." One could purchase bonds for 10% cash and the balance in monthly instalments. Bonds were in $50.00, $100.00, $1,000.00 and larger denominations.
