Some people think that in buying Libcr-
ty Bonds or War Savings Stamps. they are
spending their money. This is Il mistake.
They arc investing their money. "The
difference between spending money and
investing money is this. When they are
spending money, the money is not expected
to be returned to them. The things pur-
chased represent the money expended and
the money IS gone forever. In purchasing
Liberty Bonds, the money is loaned to the
government. which money is to be returned
to the purchaser by the government with
interest
1t is evident that this is an indirect way
OF saw ng money that would otherwise be
expended for necessities or luxuriCS The
best way to save money is to purchase
something of service and which will yield
Il revenue or interest ON the amount so
expended. That is why we buy land or n
house. This is why we buy stocks and
bonds.
Colorcd folks, as a rule. do not know
much about this kind of invest mcnt 1t
is time for them to learn. Deposit your
money in Il bank and in time, you will be
