New Part Payment Plan.
or much Importance is the announce
| ment by the Liberty Loan Association
Of Banks and Trust Companies OF New
York city that 1t has a new method OF
handling part payments subscriptions TO
| this loan. This association sells $50 and
800 bonds on the instalment plan
through banking institutions In the
third Liberty Loan campaign the pur-
chaser OF the small books was required
| to make an initial payment of ~ on
$50 bond and 81 on a 500 bond. The
| association now announces that SUBJ
| scribers in the present loan will have to
make an initial payment of 81 OH $50
bond and IS on a 800 denomination.
Subscribers also will have to continue
weekly payments of 81 on $50 bonds and
| of 81 on 800 bonds. In the third LIB
erty Loan campaign the weekly pay
ment on the $50 bond was 81 and 81 on
the 800 denomination. The increase In
the size of the initial payment and the
weekly instalment Is understood to be
bond in full. Although similar books
were on sale only two weeks during the
| third drive a total of $4,000 were pur-
chased. calling for stS,597.350 in Liberty
| bonds.
A book of the same size and shape as
| that which has become familiar to pur-
chasers of the third Liberty Loan bonds
on the instalment plan will be used. In
stead of a detachable coupon as before
an adhesive receipt will be issued when
ever n weekly payment Is made. One
OF these receipts must be attached to
| each white sheet in the book. The book
| and the contents will be bearer obliga-
| tions. and in case of loss no duplication
can be issued These books will be on
| sale at 500 booths, at all the precinct
headquarters of the metropolitan can
vass committee and through 10000 au-
| thorized canvassers.
Gilbert b. Bogart. assistant director
of distribution, pointed out that the new
plan for selling books places Liberty
bonds within the reach of all.
There is 10 American that cannot af-
ford to save 81 a week to help win the
| war" said Mr.. Bogart. THE new sys-
tenn not only provides means by which
! the man and woman Of moderate means
can take part in the support Of our
armies. but enables every one, no matter
what his or her financial status, to take
| q hand"
| Protection for Small Owners.
SO that protection may be afforded the
small owners of Liberty bonds. an
nouncement was made tina. tho New
York State Safe Deposits Association has
decided that investors may store in any
| or the vaults OF its members Liberty
bonds up to the value Of 5000 free of
charge. On amounts of Liberty bonds
valued above 5000 there will be a stor-
age charge of per cent. of the par value
of the securities.
William Gibiin, president OF the NIer-
chants Trust and Safe Deposit Company
one OF the flfty-three members OF the as
| ISOLATION, said that this offer on it's part
is the start of drive to obtain free
storage for 100000 Liberty bondholders
The army of Liberty bond statesmen in
New York city Will be enlarged by ap-
| proNimately $4,000 men of the first
draft. who belong to the deferred third
class. They will devote all Of their
spare time to selling bonds during the
campaign. These men have been formed
into regular organizations in each of
the draft board districts throughout the
city, and are known as national auxiliary
locals. Sponsors of the plan regard
these bond sellers as performing a SOL
dierly duty in that every bond sold
through their efforts is a true equivalent
for military service which might have
been demanded of them. One of the
particular advantages that many of
| these deferred draft men will have is
their ability TO talk in a foreign Ian
guage.
