Wat You Buy With War Bonds: The 75mm Gun
The 75 millimeter gun is a divisional weapon used by the Artillery as an anti tank gun. It has been replaced to some extent by the more modern .105 known as the heaviest of divisional weapons. The 75mm gun costs $12,000 and has been converted by our Ordnance into a blaster twice as efficient as in the first World War. This gun gets maximum power for minimum weight and cost. The American people are providing the finance through the purchase of War Bonds. If you do your share and invest 10 percent of your income in War Bonds, adequate supply of this efficient gun can be assured our fighting forces. Buy War Bonds every pay day.
