One step Neater Victory, Peace and Freedom

★ With the fall of Germany, and a well-earned Victory over a diabolical force called Nazism, we reach another milestone in American history. This date will go down as one of the most memorable of all times. Peace is being restored to a hectic, war-tom world ... ... and in later years, when historians set down facts and figures on this great World War, Germany’s downfall will stand out, not only as a tribute to American supremacy on far flung battlefields, but to supremacy on the industrial production front here at home. , Although we are a step nearer Total Victory, there still is a war to be won in the Pacific. To see it through in the quickest possible time is our fervent wish. To our men and boys on the battle fronts, all of us who have been helping in the war effort in one way or another, can pledge fullest cooperation and backing until full Victory is ours. American determination for all that is good and right will win, and we at home will look forward, and will work, toward Total Victory, Peace and Freedom .,. Freedom to pursue our own American way of life. FUUIC SERVICE COMPANY OF INDIANA, INC.
