Interesting Old Wartime Paper

A copy OF the Gardiner Home Jour

porter's notice recently. 1t contained
much of interest especially when

I. ,. 7-3O" lean. just as the papers of
today have given space to the Lib
erty loans. The third loan then was
for 100000. These were payable
IN three years and were convertible
at the option Of the holder into U.

bearing bonds. Like our recent bonds
they were coupon bonds with inter
est payable semi-annually Subscrip-
lions were receivable at the Gardiner
