for the firms to have representatives,

Figure It Out For Yourself

The Government has already had to borrow from
the banks large part of the money with which it is
meeting current bills
If we don't raise the money now to pay off those
borrowings by Oversubscribng the Victory Liberty
Loan, the banks in turn cannot lend to American mer
chants manufactures and exporters the money needed
for the expansion of American business and the pay
ment Of good wages.
Each bank has only so much money to lend. It
can't lend it to business men and to the Government
at the same time.
The business men MUST have bank loans in order
TO start industry humnng pay good wages and bring
about the period of prosperity all looking for
ward to.
THE VICTORY LOAN MEANS BUSINESS. new
enterprises started factories enlarged, business expan
son export trade secured, plenty of employment and
good wages.
TAXES MEAN TIGHT MONEY business cur
tailed, credits cut down, building plans held up export
opportunities lost factories shut down. and an eveT
creasing army of unemployed.
There's no question of patriotism or sentiment in
volved in that-just hard-headed business sense.
1t is true, we want to ''fnsh up the Job" We
want to that every last of the boys who fought
or prepared to fight for us is brought home the wounded

We want to do all these things BECAUSE WE
ARE AMERICANS.
