world, and it is not asking any,
body, not even it's own citizens to
give it money.
It wants. to BORROW your
money. 1t will pay it back with
good interest.
There does not exist in the en-
tire world, security so safe as
United States Government Bonds.
For thirty-eight years, the
United States has never issued a
bond at a higher interest rate
than four per cent. The last is
sue above four per cent was in
1879.
-Four per cent bonds of the gov
eminent in ordinary times, have
sold at ia to 119.
A one thousand dollar $1,000
bond Of the United States gov
eminent could be sold through
these thirty-eight years at any
where from one thOsuand one
hundred forty dollars ($1140) to
one thousand one-hundred ninety
dollars ($119O).
That's the kind Of a country
the United States is.
There is only one thing in the
world better than actual gold or
gold certificates and that is the
United States Government Bond.
If you have the gold or the pa
per money hidden away, it brings
you in nothing.
If you have 4 per cent bonds
running twenty-five years, the in
terest you will get in that time
will be equal to the full amount
Of the bonds. And you still have
the bonds that the government
will pay off at full face value in
gold.
No state, city, county or even
the government itself can tax you
on these bonds unless you own
more than $1,000 worth.
But if you own bonds, and you
need money. Won do not have to
wait twenty-five years. Any
bank will buy them from you or
loan on them virtually to the full
amount. The interest coupons
that are attached to the bonds
can be taken off as the interest
periodically becomes due, and
any bank, or the postmaster in
any town will pay them in cash.
The second Liberty Loan of
1917 is the greatest investment
opportunity ever put before the
people.
Even if man looks at it
merely as business proposition,
it is the best thing in the world
today. But when you consider
that by loaning your money to
the government at this time, you
are doing a service of loyalty and
putting yourself on record as a
patriot, the opportunity of life
time.
Thousands of Minnesota boys
have invested their lives in the
fight for Liberty.
Will you invest your dollars.
Then buy a Liberty Bond.
The men in khaki are fighting
OUR fight-the fight Of those
who stay at home.
The least we can do is to stand
back of them.
Money means munitions and
food. A lack Of either one means
misery in the trenches, half
hearted fighting and a ~sickening
rout on bloody battlefelds.
Americas Second Liberty Loan
must be subscribed. There is no
middle course.
No sacrifice is asked. A liberty
Bond is the safest investment in
the world. The United States
government guarantees it. Its
income from interest is not SUBJ
ject to taxation.
BUY A BOND-on the install
ment plan, if not for cash. Any
bank will tell you how to SUBJ
scribe.
