What a $50 Liberty Bond Will Buy 



Steel helmets can be supplied to one division for 

 $84,000. Helmets of the type pictured here will 

 save the American troops from death or wounds. 

 The rifle recalls the words of General Percin of 

 France, who said, basing his statement on the 

 cost of the war to his country up to January 

 31, 1917, that it cost $32,000 to kill a man 



To equip three brigades with the kind of shoes 

 worn by this defender of the nation means an 

 outlay of $285,600. The cost of each pair is $5.10 

 and it takes nine pairs a year per American 

 soldier abroad, allowing for consumption and 

 proper reserve supplies. So less than a $50 Lib- 

 erty bond will keep a man shod for twelve months
