EDITORS COMMENTS
In the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice, this 1940 advertisement from The National Savings Committee calls upon the general public to forgo their holiday plans during World War II and contribute their savings towards the war effort. With the caption "This year make your holiday weeks National Savings Week," the Committee encourages households to put their holiday money into various savings schemes such as savings certificates, defence bonds, national war bonds, and trustee saving banks. The Committee, which was a government organization, believed that every shilling counted towards the war effort and the eventual victory. The advertisement features a simple yet impactful design, with the Committee's logo and the slogan "Save Now, Save Better" prominently displayed. The image of a housewife placing coins into a savings jar symbolizes the collective effort required from every household to support the war effort. The call to action was a powerful one, as the country was facing unprecedented challenges during World War II, and every penny saved was a step towards securing a brighter future for the nation.
