This Is the program:

tanker.
keep your savings account
alive by continuing your deposits.
The interest payments on your
bond will become due twice
year: add them to your account.
The bonds can be bought on the par
u.i navmept plan. The payment OF 2
ner cent OF the face or the bond u LOT
= $50 bond and 81 for a 500 bond(
must be made when the application is
signed. The other payments fall due
q follows:
10 per cent, June q.
20 per cent, July 80.
30 per cent, August Is.
80 per cent, August 80.
You can own negotiable bond-an
interest bearing asset backed and
ycuched for by the solemn promise OF
vour Rovernment-without experienc-
ing much hardship and without Grip
ming the finances OF your community
Furthermore. this Is the way the
government wants you to buy the
bonds and by making the purchase oy
this method you are cooperating with
the government and with your local
financial institutions, and saving the
money you otherwise would spend.
n some OF our young men can go
through the trials and harships OF
camp life and the dangers of trench
warfare, most certainly those who are
not called upon to risk their lives In
srch an ordeal can get along without
sone OF the extras Of everyday life for
a while and save enough money from
their salaries to buy bond-a certifi-
cate of patriotism.
