The illustration is from a 22 by 28 display card which is being sent to every exhibitor in America.
SORROW and sacrifice have come early into the life of this little boy. It is a cost of war that he has paid. At his years he should ever be happy. He should run and play and have gay hours with other little boys. In a fair world it would be so. It was his father's purpose that this little fellow should know only kindness and that he should grow to manhood in a friendly world.
Now Dad is not coming home, so the little boy and Mother will have to carry on alone. Now he stands, for the first time, in Father's place, to receive the decoration posthumously awarded to Captain X for "bravery beyond the call of duty", giving his life for that better world for the boy who is to be the man of tomorrow. He's trying hard not to cry. Dad would rather he didn't.
This marks a day that he will remember forever. It will be a memory of pride.
For this little boy, and the millions of other young Americans, the grown-ups of these United States must make good. For the earning, working, stay-at-home grownups the obligation is as clear as it is for the man in battle overseas. That obligation is now presented by the Third War Loan.
The life that this little boy's father laid down in battle is spent, but the dollars that go into war bonds are invested. They earn two kinds of dividends: interest in dollars, and the peace that is to come.
We can pay our debt to this Little Man of Tomorrow with the War Loan.
