SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THIS.
LOAN.
IT IS A NATIONAL SAVING BANK, offering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any saving bank which pays
its depositors in U. 5. Notes, consider that it
is paying in the best circulating medium of
the country, and it cannot pay in anythin G
better, for its own assests are either in goverps
ment securities or in notes or bonds payable
in government paper.
1t is equally convenient as q temporary or
perman ent Investment. The notes can always
be sold for within a fraction of their face and
accumulated interest, and are the b~estsecurity
with banks as collaterals for discounts.
Convertible into a Six per cent. 500
Gold Bond.
In addition to the very liberal interest on
the notes for three years, this privilege of con
version is now worth about three per cent. per
annum, for the current rate for 5 20 Bonds is
not less than nine per cent. premium, and before
the war the premium on six per cent. q. 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.
Exemption from State or NUM-
cipal Taxation.
But aside from all the advantages we have
enumerated, a special Act of Congress eIempS
all bonds and Treasury notes from local ~taration
On the average, this exemption is worth about
two per cent. per annum, according to the rate
of taxation in various parts of the country.
1t is believed that no securities offer so grea
induce tents TO lenders as those issued by the
government, In all other forms of indebted
ness, the faith or ability of priaate parties, os
stock companies, OF separate communities
only. is pledged for payment, while the whole
property OF the country is held to secure the
discharge of all the obligations of the United
States.
e the government offers the most libel
for its loans, it believes that the vel
est appeal will be to the loyalty and pa
riotism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for al
deposits. The party depositing must endorse
upon the original certificate the denomination
of notes required, and whether they are to be
issu1d in blank or payable to order. When
so endorsed it must be left with the officer re-
ceiving the deposit, to be forwarded to the
Treasury Department.
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE RECEIVED by the
Treasurer of the United States, at Washing
ton, the several Assistant Treasurers. and des-
1gnatei Depositaries, and by the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
ASHLAND OHIO
and by all National Banks which are deposita
ries of public money, and
ALL RESPECTABLE BANKS BANKERS
throughout the country will give further in
