It Is Good Business
 to Subscribe to the Victory Liberty Loan

TT is freely stated that the VICTORY LIB ERTY LOAN should be hoated on a business basis It is contended that the of interest and terms should be attractive to banks and investors with idle funds.
 We assured that the terms of the Loan will be attractive but it matters not what the terms are, there is not enough idle money available to take up loan of five or six billion dollars.
 It would be bad business for the banks to ab- sorb the Loan. It would be bad for the banks and it would be bad for our community
 Good business demands that the banks keep their funds in such shape that they can loan money to their customers when it is needed If the banks use their funds to purchase Liberty Bonds, their ability to loan money to business men and farmers is lessened. The question is shall the banks loan their money to Uncle Sam to people?
 If our people buy the Bonds the banks will lend them the money they need to complete the pay nnents This will affect the ability of the banks to take care of the loans to our business men and farmers, because the banks can rediscount the notes given for Liberty Bonds and thus replenish their funds
 It is good business for our people to subscribe to the VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN and thus keep the banks free to take care of their regular borrowers.
 If business can get the money it needs, more crops will be grown, goods will be made. more people will be employed.
 For purely selfish business reasons our people sbou,d subscribe to the VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN For patriotic reasons, also, we should all do our part The money raised by the VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN will be largely used to pay for bills already contracted in winning the war. We must keep the credit of our Government untar- n;shed What American would refuse to do his share in keeping bright the name of our glorious country?
 We are not quitters. Let's finish the job as only real Americans know how
