If these Bonds are so desirable, why
is it necessary to advertise them ex-
tensively? 1t Is not necessary to adver-
tise 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 loan from the
banks, trust companies and financiers.
To that end bonds are being issued Of
small denominations, and subscribers
for small amounts are to be supplied
before the subscribers for large
amounts are granted their fun sub
scription.
Is it patriotic to purchase these
bonds? Yes: every American who sub
scribes to the justice Of the course Of
the United States in entering and con-
Quoting 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
subscribe 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
in It than by the amount subscribed.
The spirit of the nation Is going to be
Judged abroad, especially by our enc
mics, more by the number OF the Amer :
lean men and women who support this
bond issue than by the mere amount
OF money subscribed.
