Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Ten pretty girls; all workers at the John Inglis Co. plant; line up with 10 Bren guns; built with their own hands. These little guns are going to Allied forces all over the world-but Brens cost a lot of money; Canadian money. Canadian money. One $100 bond will buy approximately three Bren guns; at their present cost. It takes a lot of bonds to keep the Inglis plant making Brens. Your bonds are needed now; more than ever.
