No Better Investment.

From whatever angle it may
be considered, an investment by
an American citizen in Liberty
Bonds or War Savings Stamps is
the best investmentin the world.
The money so invested goes to
the Government, which loans
some of it to our allies: all of it is
used in one way or another to
maintain, support, arm, equip
and make victorious our armies
and all our allies in Europe.
Surely no Am erican money could
be put to a better purpose. Here
is an investment in the power
and success of our country, an
investment in the efficiency,
strength. safety, and success of
our fighting men on sea and land.
