fI MI Al I am sorry to hear about
INC MIXED out of that money
~" I'm and all yea should ought to
O". LsngfpU they didn't get YOU for
Os ,.boIe $4,000 instead of just
ID. .l5 ag and / don't see how ybody
81 wit could invest ] of their
0D.% ms in a gag like that aud if a
81 -s,Ilr did invent maggot that
H1I -.J draw y boats up on top of
To' ,,.far they could sell it TO Presi-
Ip' .. wilson and Frank Daniels for
u5 .1rt,n dollars cash money and they
.nr5n't have to hot feet from house
',5onse like they was trying to ped
ball bearing potato peeler or
pnf listen Al if l was you /
-anIdn't 90 hireing no atty, and try
w. "' ~ef your money back because that
~ be lust like throwing good
~or after bad money as they say
b loa bv this time the guy is
D-,Eab,v hideing in Russia some
rbarqs and has growed a beard so as
w. wiiI look like everybody else and
-r.n if YOU was to 90 over there and
90 him YOU wouldn't know for sure
:ff wa, him or Kerensky or this here
Doa Cossack.
Rrt instead of that Al | would just
f,rrot it if YOU want to keep the U
laa} elevator stock or whatever you
all if for a souvenir why o. X. but
ron hotter do something with that
.,bar 5000 before somebody else
,,mas along and sells you a season
ticket TO the post office aud if [ was
ron Al would do what | told you to
i, last fall and that is buy one of
these liberty bonds with the $4,000
and if YOU had Of took my advice YOU
rorId Of sank the whole $4,000 in
them last fall and now you wouldn't
no crying over sour milk as they say,
INIT rou would have a safe investment
that Won don't only have to think
sb9u, it twice per annum and that's
when YOU 90 to the bank and collect
the int. money and the int. money
+, money YOU can spend on some
fEing vou want and not something
YOU got to have, because it comes
like kind of Il bonus from the govt.
for helping them out when they need
ed il.
Buyng liberty bend Al is some
ting like buying a ticket to the ball
came only they's a whole lot of
difference When a man buys a
ticket to The ball game he is helping
to pay the ball players their salary
bat be don't get no pleasure out Of
thinking about that but all the
pleasure he gets is setting up there
and watching the game and if his
team has Il bad dav and he is disgust~
ed with them he can't 60 down to the
box office and get his money back
and if he even asked for it he would
he lucky if they didn't bust him in the
Jaw And of course if its a good
game and he enjoys it he don't want
bis money back and wouldn't get it
il be did,
Bnt when you buy a liberty bond
Al You feel good because you know
you are helping to keep Uncle Sans
players from starving to death and
you also know they will be up on their
toes all the while and doing their best
and You know your team is going to
win. Uncle Sam refunds your money
besides giyeing YOU int. on it all the
time he has got it. Can you beat
that Al. I'll say that you can't.
So don't be a sucker Al but take my
advice this time and get hold of one
Of these bonds before the wise alexis
hogs them all and don't throw away
that other $4,000 on a patent electric
lice chaser or something.
Your pal.
JACK.
Moral: BUY a Liberty Bond and
le.p win the war
