Liberty Loan Bonds Of the first
issue of $2,OOO,OO0,OOO are to bear
date of June Is, 1917, and to run
for thirty years, except that the
Government reserves the right to
pay them fifteen years after date.
If this right is not exercised by the
Government fifteen years from date,
the bonds will run the full thirty
years.
These bonds bear interest at BIZ
| per cent per annum, and the inter-
est is payable semi-annually on the
fifteenth day Of December and the
fifteenth day of June in each year.
Special Advantages of These Bonds
bonds. National, State, municipal, Or
corporate, have is that if the Unit
ed States during the continuance OF
this war shall issue other bonds at
a higher rate of interest, the hold
ers of these Liberty bonds have the
right to exchange their Liberty
bonds for bonds bearing the higher
rate of interest, dollar for dollar.
They are non-taxable. If your city,
county, and state taxes are three
mills on the dollar, a not unusual
| tax. these bonds are equivalent to
ordinary corporate bonds or other in
vestments bearing 61a per cent.
| In addition, no Federal tax which
war conditions may later make nee
essary will affect these bonds. The
only tax these bonds are subject to
| is the inheritance tax, which applies
to all property of all kinds whatso-
ever.
Blank forms of application for the
purchase of these bonds can be OBJ
| tanned from the Treasury Depart
ment, any Federal Reserve Bank,
any National, State, or private bank,
any express office, and any post
office in the United states Any
bank or postmaster will aid appli-
cant in filling out his blank and
the other acts necessary to obtain
these bonds.
1t is not necessary to advertise
these bonds to sell the whole is
sue, but it is earnestly desired that
this loan shall be popular loan, a
loan by and from the people at large
of the United States, and not alone
from banks, trust companies, and
financiers. To that end bonds are
| to be issued of small denominations,
and subscribers for small amounts
are to be supplied before the sub
scribers for large amounts are grant
er their full subscription.
Yes; every American who sub
scribes to the justice of the course
of the United States in entering and
conducting the war we are now en-
gagged in should subscribe to the
Liberty Loan Bond issue to the ex-
tent of his or financial ability.
Every American who subscribes
to the belief that an American
should stand by his or her country
should subscribe to the Liberty Loan
Bond issue.
| Every American who subscribes
|ica and is jealous of Americas hon
or. should subscribe to the Liberty
Loan Bond issue. The real success
of the loan is to be more determined
1 by the number of Americans partl-
cipating in it than by the amount
subscribed. The spirit of the Ma
ton is going to be judged abroad,
AespeciaIly by our enemies, more by
the number of it's American men and
women who support this bond issue
than by the mere amount of money
subscribed.
