DON'T BURY YOUR BOND

When you and your neighbor have
bought your Liberty Bonds, don't take
them home and hide them in the cup
board. Take them to your banker
and have him give you certificates of
deposit for the bonds. Your banker
can take these bonds to a Federal
Reserve bank and borrow money for
your use in case you suddenly find
yourself in need of funds Hiding a
bond in your stocking at this time IS
Just as bad as boarding money Keep
the bonds and the money in circula
