It's Bonds In Pensacola


cent against your loan, and, in turn,
the government pays you interest at
3 IL per cent, or you would then
only pay the bank 2 IL per cent per
year for its accommodation. You APP
preciate that when you require loan
against your Liberty Bond you do not
give up or forfeit your ownership of
that bOnd-you simply offer it as Sc
CURLY in good faith of your payment
of the money back to the bank which
you borrowed from them. Next, we
might explain that by virtue of your
bond being a government bond it is
your safest possible investment, safer
than cash in the bank, and on account
of the unusually high rate of interest
that these Liberty Loan bonds bear
or pay their holders, they represent
a most ideal form of saving, and are
therefore much desired by those who
have money who wish to create en-
dowments, with a result that the gen
eral opinion is that your bond prob
ably in a few years will sell at a
premium to those that are particu-
larly DESTROYS of having them, there
fore to buy one of these bonds is NOT
an investment with q chance-your
money is absolutely safe; the rate Of
intsrest paid is high; they will no
doubt increase IN value; It is not
tying up your money so you can't use
/ 1t when an emergency may arse like
! the prOverbial rainy day; it has the
/ highest known loan value of any
bond or security, and the banks nave
| been instructed by your government
/ to give preference in the lOaning of
money to borrowers holding Liberty
Bonds. It is non-taXable, which
means another saving to you as tax
ations have been placed not only upon
incomes and money invested, but
money held as cash in the banks. For
the above reasons, therefore, do not
feel that these Liberty Bonds are
only for people who are rich, and not
for you who work for a wage. They
are a good, safe and sound business
Investment for all.
The economical phase of buving a
Liberty Loan bond is the initiation of
the power to save among those Cit
zens of the United States who have
the failing of not being able to start
a savings account, be it ever so little,
and to those who, out of wisdom and
experience find it most desirable to
save little of what they earn, it will
be stimulus to increase their efforts
towards increasing their savings.
The higher taxation which the cost of
this war will necessarily bring upon
every citizen of the United States de-
mands this effort towards economy
and saving, and it is hoped that the
purchase of a Liberty Bond will mark
an epoch in the economic life of the
citizens Of this great country, pre-
pairing them to meet in a better
fashion the increased costs of life
that will fall upon all, not only alike
but proportional to their wages and
wealth.
Next, and a most important rea-
son why you should purchase a Lib
erty Loan bond, is the patriotic
aspect. Your government - which
means yOu-is at war, and since il
means war of every citizen of the
United States, it also means that
every citizen of the United States
and lover of liberty must do his
duty and prosecute this war ~ a sue
cessful and victorious end. Your gov
eminent does not only need men to
shoulder guns and fight at the front
it needs money with which to sup
ply these men with food and NUM-
tons of war. We, who tor many
reasons are not able to participate in
the actual fighting must do our part
in order that those who are fighting
can fight successfully, which means
victory, therefore in buying a Lib
erty Loan bond you are directly and
Immediately assisting your govern
ment in this war. 1t has been the
specific request of your government
that every citizen be given the op-
pOrtunity to buy a Liberty Bond
thus it will bring prominently to your
] attention that in buying a pond, YOU
have substantially participated II
the prosecution of the war, a feeling
that every patriot hopes to Yealize
In order to provide that each may
have an opportunity to buy a Liberty
Loan bond the government has put {
limitation on the amount of bonds
any company or individual may buy
therefore, employees of the Newport
Turpentine & Resin Company, anc
citizens of the United States, we joir
the government in urging that you
buy Liberty Loan bond, and thus
