Victory bonds were designed specifically to pay remaining war debts, and like previous campaigns, participation was rewarded with guaranteed interest, and a commemorative button. Producing unique buttons for each bond drive was an ingenious strategy to make supporting the war a fashion statement, and this poster promotes the sale of Victory Liberty Loans by displaying an enlarged blue and white pin with the words \u201cHONOR BUTTON\u201d written at the top. On its own, the phrase \u201cHONOR BUTTON\u201d is not especially clear, but beneath the pin lies an explanation from Treasury Secretary Carter Glass that reads: \u201cEvery American should consider it an honor to wear this button.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright and Terms<\/td>\n<td>Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.
