this call Of the government While the

to the rebellion, let us see TO it that they

Facts About the S-30s---Advan-
tages offered.
THEIR ABSOLUTE SECURITY Nearly
all active credits are now based on Gov
ernment securities, and bauks hold them
at thsvery best and strongest investment
they can make. If it were possible to
contemplate the financial failure Of the
Government, no bank would be any safer.
If money is loaned on individual notes or
bond and mortgage, it viii be payable in
the same currency as the Government
pays with, and no better The Govern
ment never has failed to meet its engage
ments, and the national debt is at first
mortgage upon the whole property of the
country. While other stocks funetuate
from ten to fifty, or even Il greater per
cent, Government stocks are always con-
paradvely firm. Their value is fixed
and reliable, beyond all other securities
for while thousand speculative bubbles
rise and burst, as rule they are never
below par, aud are often above.
lTs Liberal INTEREsT.-Theg general
rate of interest is six per cent, payable
annually. This is seven and three -tenths,
payable semiaanuaty. If you lend OF
mortgage, these must be searching of
titles, lawyers, fees, stamp duties and de-
lays, and you will finally have returned to
you only the same kind of money you
would receive from the Government, and
less of it. If you invest in this loan
you have no trouble Any bank or bank
er will obtain it foryou without charge.
To each note or bond are affixed five
coupons or interest tickets, due at the ex-
piration Of each successive half-year.
The holder has simply to cut off one OF
these coupons, present it to the nearest
bank or Government Agency, and receive
his interest; the note itself need not be
presented tall. Or coupon thus paya-
bic will everywhere be equivalent, when
due to money. If you wish to borrow
ninety cents on the dollar upon the notes
you have the highest security in the mar
ken to do it with. II you wish to sell
it wlll bring within fraction OF cost ant
interest at any moment. 1t will be han
dy to have in the house.
IT Is CONVERTIBLE into six per cent
gold bearing bond At the expiration o
three years u holder Of the notes of The
7-50 Loan has the option Of accepting
payment in full or Of funding his note
into six per cent gold-intercst bond, tht
principal payable in not less than five
nor moro than twenty years from its date
as the Government may elect. Thes'
bonds are held at such a premium as t.
make this privilege now worth two OF
three per cent, per annum, and adds So
much to the interest Notes Of the samt
class, issued three years ago, re now sci
ling at rate that fully proves the cor
rcctness Of this statement.
It's EXEMPTION FROM STATE or MI
NICIpAL TAXATIoN-But aside from al
the advantages we have enumerated,
special Act ofCongress, erenptS dH60nd
and Treasury notes from local taration
On the average this exemption is wortl
about two per cent, per anpum, accor
ding to the rate of taxation in yariou
parts Of the country.

While this loan presents great adyanta
ges to large capitalists, it offers specia

kind must somehow invest its deposit

they must deduct largely for the expen

interest allowed to depositors is 4 per cent
