It IS a National Savings Bank, offering
hirher rate Of interest than any other, aud
the best security. Any savings bank which
pays its deDositors in I. s. Notes, considers
that ii is paving in the best circulating me-
dunn of the country, and it cannot pay III any
1hjua bettef, for its own assets are either in
govern rnt mt securities or in notes or bonds
payable in government paper.
il is equally convenen. as temporary or
nermanent investment. The notes can al
1ravs be sold for within a fraction OF their
face and accumulated interest, and are the
best security with banks as collatterals for
CoarertiJIe into a Sir per cent. $40 Gold Bond.
In addition to the very liberal interest on
the notes for three, years, this privilege OF
conversion is now worth about three per cent.
for the current rate for $40 Bonds is not less
than nine per cent. premium, and before the war
the premium on six per cent. I. S. stocks was
over twenty per cent 1t will be seen that
the actual profit on this loan, at the present
market rate, is not less than ten per cent per
annum.
