THE 500 BOND

1t has been carefully estimated that
the proceeds of one 500 Liberty Loan
band will fully clothe, arm and equip
one American soldier. Each purchaser
of a Liberty Loan bond for 800 may
feel that his or her money is doing
it's individual part in the arming and
equipping of one of our country's
soldiers. To some who wish that they
could actively serve their country in
the field but who have been denied
this service, this gives a specific, tam
gible nature to an investment in

PRIVILEGE, NOT REQUIREMENT

Some confusion has arisen relative
to the privilege granted to subscribers
for one $50 bond or one 500 bond
to pay the full amount at once, with
the assurance OF an immediate allot-
ment In full and delivery of an in
terim certificate at the earliest posi-
bic moment.
1t should be clearly understood that
this is privilege and not a require
ment. The subscriber for one $50
bond or one 500 bond may avail
himself of this privilege of full pay
ment, or he may pay per cent upon
application and the balance as pro-
vided for other bonds; that is, IS per
cent on June rs. 20 per cent on July
80, 80 per cent on August Is, and 80
per cent on August 80.
The subscriber, therefore, for a $50
bond or 500 bond has the assured
certainty of obtaining a bond either
by the cash payment in full or the
payment in the stated instalment
Subscribers for larger amounts will
have to await the allotment when all
the subscriptions are in and may not
obtain the full amount of bonds sub
scribed for.
