The alternative

A man in a boater hat (Mr. Public) buys war bonds from a woman (voluntary war bond drives), behind her stands a man dressed as a gladiator (compulsory war saving) holding a paper (quotas). Mr. Public asks: "wouldn't we rather do business with her?" while woman replies: "he may take my place unless I sell my quotas." A caption below the image reads: for victory put 10% of your salary into war bonds.
