If These Bonds Are So Desirable, why
is it Necessary to Advertise them
Extensively?
It is not necessary to advertise these
bonds to sell the whole issue, but it is
earnestly desired that this loan shall
be popular loan, a loan by and from
the people at large Of the United

companies, and financiers. To that end
bonds are to be issued of small de-
and subscribers for small
amounts are to be supplied before the
subscribers for large amounts a.o
granted their full subscription.
Is It Patriotic to Purchase These bonds?
Yes; every American who subscribes
to the justice of the course of the
United States in entering and conduct
ing the war we are now engaged in
should subscribe to the Liberty Loan
Bond issue to the extent of his or her
financial ability.
Every American who subscribes to
the belief that an American should
stand by his or her country should sub
scribe to the Liberty Loan Bond issue.
Every American who loves America
and is jealous Of Americas honor
should subscribe to the Liberty Loan
Bond issue. The real success of the loan
is to be more determined by the number
of Americans participating in it than
by the amount subscribed. The spirit
of the Nation is going to be judged
abroad, especially by our enemies,
more by the number of its American
men and women who support this bond
issus than by the mere amount Of mon
ey subscribed.
