What was the purpose of this poster ?
recruit "Four-Minute Men" encourage men to volunteer for the army encourage the public to finance the costs of war discourage opposition to joining World War I
Encourage the public to finance the costs of war. Bonds: they pay the bank now; the government pays them back later(in this sense after the war)
First, you need to know what bonds are. Bonds are debt instrument that provides some financial security. Depending on the bond, they return an interest. What the poster is trying to say is that, buying war bonds will help you and the government. In addition, they will take care of the budgets for war and its program initiatives. Looks like a country is going to prepare for some type of war, if that poster is publicly disclosed.
