Hoard Your
Money; Make It
Work For You
Fight For Your Country-Two
Kinds of Hoarding.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.

way.
There are two kinds of boarding,
one based on selfish fear and igno-
rance. The hoarder puts his money
in strong box or an old teapot, or
the bottom of a trunk, and thinks
himself safe.
Fire or thieves may ruin him. And
in any case his money is wasted,
worthless, doing nothing for him and
nothing for the nation.
Of such ignaront boarding based
on fear there is a great deal in this
country, unfortunately. Many hun
dreds of millions are hidden away
idle, as great damage to the country
as though men should hide away for
ces or useful machinery to keep them
doing nothing.
Money is labor in the form of
cash, and as the man who earns it
works while he earns, so money
should be kept working and producing
after it is earned. Dollars locked up
and hidden away are as worthless as
men in a prison or an insane asylum.
In war the dollar wisely used fights
for this country like a man well arm
ed. Every citizen should keep every
dollar at work-even the loose
change-harnessing it up in the shape
of AYR Stamps for the quarters and
dollars, Liberty Bonds for larger
amounts.
The Government lets you become
a patriotic hoarder on a basis that
produces the following three remark
able results:
First-You cannot lose your mon
ey. 1t cannot be stolen;
Second-While it is boarded be-
yond all possible reach of danger, it
is earning liberal interest for you,
every hour, working or sleeping, you
are gradually getting richer;
Third-In addition to being safe
and earning interest for you, the
money wisely boarded in Government
bonds or war stamps is actually at
work fighting for your country.
Do not think it necessary to say
it and repeat the simple fact.
To your children, to the many who
look upon finance as a mystery, it is
your duty, because you know more,
to explain the facts, every day. Such
explanation is useful, necessary war
work.
We have tried to put these things
here extremely simple, as you will do,
in urging wise, atriotic mopney hoard
ing represented by purchase of Gov
eminent war stamps and bonds.
Urge your friends to buy war
stamps. There are men in this coun-
try that would gladly buy millions of
dollars worth of the if the Govern
ment would permit it. But these war
stamps that pay COMPOUND IN
TEREST represent a great financial
saver that the Government has de-
vised for the benefit of the man Of
small means.
No one person may own more than
one thousand dollars worth of these
stamps.
Carnegie, Rockefeller, dozens of
others would buy them by the mil
lions. if allowed to. AS far away as
the Argentine Republic, intelligent
people are investing their money in
these war stamps, Selling the oppor-
tunity never known before and never
to be known again, to invest money
at compound interest, which means
Interest on the interest on the inter
est.
Explain to your friends why it is
| impossible to lose your stamps OF
your bond by theft, when you put
them in your own name.
War Stamps and Government
bonds are different from the money
in your pocket or boarded.
Bonds and war stamps are safer.

That is all your money is-A
PROMISE TO PAY.
Your war stamp or Government
bond is promise to pay PLUS IN
