What is q Bond
What is a bond?

w IlOl Is Il
A bond is an absolute first mort
gage on property pledged as secur-
ity for a loan that is to be paid
back at a stated time, just like a
farm mortgage.
What is a Liberty Bond?
A bond OF the United States
Government.
What security is back of a Lib
erty Bond?
The whole United States of Am
erica with all it's wealth and the
wealth and income of all its people.

Seventy times as great--$7O of

Liberty Loan.
What about payin. the interest
III he bonds?
The annual income or earnings
OF the people of the United States
is $40, 000.000,O0O. This is fifteen
times as much as the bonds them
selves and 375 times as much as
the yearly interest.

TO pay it's debts.
Did the United States ever re-
fuse to pay off one of it's bond when
it became due?
1t never did.
DO United States bonds usually

After the Civil War no United

less than par and they generally
sold far above the price paid fn,.
them originally.
Did Civil War bonds go up when
the war ended?
They did.
Did other good securities like
railroad stocks go down when the
Civil War was over?
They fell tremendously in the
two years following.
How much?
In the two years after Appoma.

rose 4 points while such stocks as
Reading, Pennsylvania and LIE.

Philadelphia market from $15 t,
$40 a share.
