Thanks to our Throwback Thursday sponsor Dresden Meat Packers / Dresden Meat and Deli:
It’s Throwback Thursday once again!
Here is an old photograph of Wallaceburg & Chatham Singers raising funds for Victory Bonds for World War I.
The bonds were a loan to the government that could be redeemed with interest after 5,10, or 20 years and were released during 5 different campaigns between 1915 and 1919. In 1915 a hundred million dollars worth of Victory Bonds was issued and quickly purchased.
Thanks to the Wallaceburg & District Museum for the photograph!
