This handbill (circa 1917), which bears a 1918 postmark from Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, reminded people of the need to buy Canadian-made products, to offset the amount of money being spent purchasing foreign-made munitions and war materials. Consumers
and business owners are encouraged maintain "Business as usual" and to "Keep [their] money in Canada" by buying and selling "Made in Canada" goods. The handbill declares "What we have we'll hold."
