Description

A large line of soldiers stand in line to subscribe for war bonds in front of a baseball-like scoreboard tracking war bond subscriptions by infantry and batallion. A soldier in the lower left corner states "They are willing to give their money as well as their lives- and yet there are men so small that they are unwilling to give either." Two men in a farmer's outfit and a suit representing people who have not signed up stand in the lower right corner. 

Caption: "The men at Rockford are an object lesson to the tight wads who are willing to accept the sacrifices of others without making any themselves."
