that by authorizing the en-
craving OF these bonds with only four
coupons attached instead OF the full
number of so coupons. 1t will be pos
sible to have the actual bonds ready
for delivery as soon as full payments
are completed. thus avoiding the trou-
BILE and delay incident to the issuance
OF interim receipts or temporary
bonds. On and after November Is.
1919. the holders OF the bonds will
have opportunity to exchange them
for new bonds having attached there
TO coupons for the balance of the
period for which the bonds will run.
1T is also expected that on or about
October 10, 1917, there will be in the
hands of the several federal reserve
banks a supply of these new bonds
ready for immediate delivery in
amounts not in excess of $1,000 10 any
one subscriber against payment in full,
thereby avoiding in such cases the
trouble incident to waiting on allot-
ment for delivery,
plans are also being perfected
whereby the banks all over the coun-
try can obtain bonds for the making
OF prompt delivery against these small
subscriptions. AS the bonds will bear
interest from November Is, and as
those who pay in full prior to that
time, will not obtain any interest until
that date, this is Offered as an alter
native proposition to those who are
anxious TO obtain immediate possession
of the bonds for which they subscribe
The reason this offer will be liIni'ct
to amounts of not over 81 600 to an!
