To successfully finance the war
it is necessary that owners of Lib
erty bonds hold their bonds if
possible. Where for any good rea-
SON it is necessary for them to turn
their bonds into cash they should
seek the advice of their bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very de-
slrable investments, and crafty in
iividuals are using various means
to secure them from owners not IA
miliar with stock values and like
matters. One method is to offer to
exchange for Liberty bonds stocks
or bonds of doubtful organizations
represented as returning much
higher income than the bonds.
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used, some Of
the gold-brick variety and others
less crude and probably within the
limits of the law. All offers for
Liberty bonds except for money
and at market value should be scru-
tinted carefully. The bonds are
the safest of investments and have
nontaxable and other valuable fea-
lures.
To hold your Liberty loan bonds,
if possible, is patriotic. To consult
your bankers before selling them is
wise.
