For Your Future Good Fortune | Canada Declares War | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars

This poster reminds women of all the very vital roles they can play during wartime. The different military women's divisions are represented - Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC), Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (WRCNS), Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division (RCAF WD), and nurses. They're encouraged to "buy Victory Bonds" for their own "good fortune" (hence the crystal ball with a victory bond inside), special government loans that helped fund the war and could benefit them in the future.

Illustrated poster, colour. Four women look into a crystal ball, depicting a victory bond. Each wears the uniform of a different branch – Canadian Women's Army Corps (khaki coloured), Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (navy blue), RCAF Women’s Division — (J.S. Hallam, Library and Archives Canada, MIKAN No. 2834369.)
