Lot 1814
Beneker "Sure! We'll Finish the Job". 1918. Size: 26 x 38". Printer: Edwards & Deutsch, Chicago, "1-C" printed at bottom left. Handful of chips at bottom margins, 3" tear at bottom margin radiates into image, 5" tear at bottom right margin radiates into image, two 2" tears at top edge, one 5" tear at top edge.

The Victory Liberty Loan relied on the willingness of the public to continue to invest even after the Armistice. The vigorous campaigning of the Victory Liberty Loan was ultimately successful as citizens came to personify the ideal portrayed here -- wearing buttons from earlier loan drives, the obviously working class man eagerly reaches deep to meet the needs of the newest campaign.
Estimated Value $100 - 150.
