Summary: Cartoon appeal for the purchase of National War Savings Certificates in Britain, 1918.
Description: The cartoonist draws a scene which animates itself. A pair of scales marked VICTORY equally balanced, with John Bull on one side and the Kaiser on the other. Money piled on the scales keeps them balanced. Finally a working class figure adds 15/6d to the British scale, tipping the balance and knocking the Kaiser over. John Bull congratulates him. A German face drawn on a savings card is "blotted out" with sixpenny savings stamps, encouraging child savings. John Bull encourages the scheme, stressing that certificates can be bought from banks, stockbrokers, post offices and many shops.
