Mr.. Bielaski. Means posed In New

told these captains that he was not
that wealthy Canadian himself, but his
agent. and that he had to convince
this mythical Canadian that he could
secure tugboats which would under

Maybe you are used to borrowing money at
your bank. Maybe you are depostor at bank,
but have never borrowed money. Maybe you have
never been in a bank before.
Whatever your experience has been, remember
that these are war times and that banks are vital
part OF the nations war machinery.
The Government needs not only the cash you
have in your pocket and in the bank today, but it
needs to use today the money you going to earn
tomorrow, next month, and the month after, until
the war is won.
Here is where the bank comes in
Suppose you have bought all the bonds you can
for cash, and you want TO buy more. You go into
any bank or trust company in this city, sign an APP
plcation for as many bonds as you think you can
pay for during the next six months The bank will
then buy the bonds for you. You will own them
and the Government will pay "a per cent interest
on all bonds you apply for.
EVERY BANK IN SEATTLE IS
PLEDGED to assist clients in purchasing Liberty
Bonds and to make loans freely on bonds subscribed
through Them in order that each possible subscriber
even though without funds now available, may make
an adequate subscription. Such loans will not re-
strict the subscribers regular line of credit.
After you have borrowed to buy your bonds, the
Government asks you to to pay off the loan as
soon as you can so as to be free to buy more bonds
and to release for other war uses the money which
the bank has tied up in purchasing the bonds for you
When you have paid off your loan, the bank
turns over your bonds to you, and you have not only
