Facts Apout the 5-3Os--The Advantages

THEIR ABSOLUTE SECURITY Nearly all
active credites are now based on Government
securities, and banks hold them as the very
best and strongest Investment they can NAL ke.
| If it were possible to contemplate the finan,
cial failure Of the government, no bank would
be any safer. money is loaned on individ-
ual notes or bond and mortgage. it will be
payable in the same currency as the Govern
ment pays with, aud no better. The Gov
ernment never has failed to meet it's engage
ments, and the national debt is first mort
gage npon the whole property Of the country,
While other stocks fuctuate from ten to fif-
ty, or even a greater per cent, Government
stocks are always comparatively firm. Their
value is fixed and reliable, beyond all other Sc
curities for while thousand speculative
bnbbles rise and burst,as rule they are new
er below par, and are often above.
IT'S LIBERAL INTERsT.-The general rate
OF interest is six per, cent. payable annually.
THIS is seven and threetenth, payable semi
annually. If you lend on mortgage, there
must be a searching of titles, lawyers fees,
Stang duties and delays, and you will finally
have returned to you only the same kind of
money you would receive from the Govern
ment and less of it. Ifyou invest in this
loan. you have no trouble. Any bank or
banker will obtain it for you without charge.
To each note or bond are affixed five "coup-
ons" or intereH tickets; due at the expira-
ton of each successive haf+year. The hold
er of note 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 at all.
Or coupon thus payable will every wnere
be equivalent, when due, To money. If you
wish to borrow ninety cents on the dollar
upon the notes, you have the highest market
to do it with. If you wish to sell, it will
bring within fraction Of cost and interest at
any moment. 1t will be very handy tc have

gold bearing bond. At the expiration of
three Years holder of the notes of the 730
Loan has the option of accepting payment in
full or of funding his notes in a six per cent
| gold interest bond, the principal payable in
not less tkan five, nor more than twenty
years from its date, as the Government may
elect. These bonds are held at such pre-
MUM as to make this privilege now worth
two or three per cent per annum, and adds
so much to the interest. Notes Of the same
class, issued three years ago are now selling
at rate that fully proves the correctness of
this statement.
| ITs Exemption FROM STATE OR MUNICH
AL TAXATIoN-But aside from all the ad
vantages we have enumerated, a special Act
of Congress e.rempfs all bonds and Treas
ury notes from lOcat taxation. On the av-
erage this exemption is worth about two per
cent, per annum, accordirg to the rate of tax
alton in various parts of the country.
| IT Is A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK While
this loan presents great advantages to large
capitalists, it offers special inducements to
those who wish 20 make a safe and profitable
investment of small savings. 1t is in every

of this kind must somehow invest its deposit
