The battle on the front lines was important, but the war also required work on the home front. This poster doesn't have a date, but I would bet it was done in 1943 or later. The list at the bottom are the "keys" to Victory. Here's what it says they are:

• Buy and hold War Bonds
• Pay willingly our share of taxes
• Provide adequate life insurance and savings for the future
• Reduce our debts as much as possible
• Buy only what we need and make what we have last longer
• Follow ration rules and price ceilings
• Cooperate with our Government's wage stabilization program

I havn't been able to figure out how life insurance helps to win the war, but that's what the government wanted, and I'm sure many people bought policies just because of posters like this. I guess it was a good time to be an insurance salesman.
