BRUNSWICK BANKS AIDING.

to be sold, payable on a weekly basis
This puts the man of limited means
in position to acquire these bonds on
easy terms. which in time will create
for himself a saving account well
worth the time and trouble.
The Liberty Loan bond offer an
ideal investment of savings for small
investors. No other small investment,
or large one either for that matter,
has quite the advantages that the
Liberty Loan bond has. Savings in
vested in Liberty Loan bond are
just as safe as it is possible to make
them and will constantly draw inter
est. While the interest is only IL
per cent the bonds being non-taXable
makes the investment the equivalent
of a 5 or 6 per cent Understanding
investment in ordinary securities.
Not only is the investment abso-
lutely safe, but it is practically as
readily converted into money as a
United States treasury note. To dis
pose of one of these Liberty Loan
bonds may require the owner to go
to a bank instead of passing it over
any counter Yet this is an advan-
tage. The trouble and time required
to convert the bond into cash will
give the owner time for thought and
reconsideration. and it is not improb-
able that in many instances the re-
suit will be that the savings invested
in a Liberty Loan bond will be pre-
served intact where savings in money
would be spent, in part, if not in
whole
There is one other incident to be
considered in regard to the purchase
of a Liberty Loan bond. The invest
ment has a nature which should ap-
peal to every American citizen. 1t is
backing our government, helping the
winning of victory for America in
war. This has no money value, but
it has a value not to be measured in
dollars and cents.
The patriotic nature of an invest
ment in the Liberay Loan bonds OF
1917 is omething that all Americans
will consider. The fact that in pur-
chasing such a bond the investor is
lending his money to his government
to his country-to prosecute a great
war, gives the investment dignity
that the ordinary investment does
not possess. The uses to which the
money is to be put, the noble pur-
poses to which it is to be devoted,
all are things which appeal more or
less to the American heart.
But let no one be led by these con-
siderations to look on buying Lib
erty Loan bond as a piece of benevo-
lence or merely a contribution to a
horthy cause. The Liberty Loan
bond is as good an investment as an
American citizen can we'll make The
rate of interest it bears may seem
small. but when its absolute safety
is considered and the fact that it is
non-taxable, and the further fact that
Il is to be immeune from any taxes
which ltaer on may be levied by rea-
son of this war, and still another
fact that in case the United States
government should later during this
war have to borrow more money and
pay a higher rate of interest, that the
holders of these bonds can secure
bonds bearing that higher rate-when
all these things are considered, an
investment in Liberty Loan bonds
possesses advantages that no other
investment in the world possesses.
There is another point which wise
and thoughtful people viii lgive due
consideration to and that is an in
vestment in Liberty Loan bonds is an
investment in the defense and preser
walton of all their other property and
all they hold dear--the preservation
of their liberties. We would be in
danger. il all our citizens refused to
lend their money to the government
of losing all that we have-our prop
erty, our liberties, and our national
