RUGGED HONESTY
BEHIND THE BONDS

The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the war with
Spain, 2 per cent bonds were offered
at par and subscribed. This is a
financial performance no other ma
tion has ever equal. United States
per cent bonds in 1888 sold as high
as 1870 and in 1901 brought 139 7-S
in the open market.
The United States has never de-
faulted in any of its obligations. Not
one of it's bondholders has ever lost
a cent of principal or interest except
those who have voluntarily taken
losses by selling their bonds in a pc
riod of temporary price depression
One hundred cents on the dollar, prin-
cipal and interest, has the United
States always paid.
Back of the approximated $250,00O,-
100000 of national resources stands
the rubbed honesty of America.
Liberty Loan bonds are the safest
security.
