In Sleeps Clothing

Sneaking into the thrift pas.
ture lands of America today are
thousands of wolves in Sleeps
clothing, every one of them hun.
cry for the kill. Every one OF
them with some particular lamb
singled out for the Slaughter.
They're the fellows who want
to trade you stock in the Dry
Hole Oil company for a couple
of Liberty Bonds. And swear
they're making a sacrifice.
Holders of Liberty bonds are
their particular quarry.
They emphasize the market
quotations of these bonds, be-
little the income to be derived
from them, promise tremendous
returns from their offerings and
cite as examples of fearless fl
nance the great fortunes built
up by a few who have promoted
successfu3 corporations in the
past.
Always their victims are men
and women who have had little
business experience and prob
ably never before owned a bond
of any sort.
To them are held out the pos
sibilities in oil, with the pres
ent price around $3.50 a barrel;
in aviation, with transatlantic
flights planned from both Am
erica and Europe and CONNER
cial airplanes just around the
corner; the prospects in gold
development, with gold as scarce
today as hens teeth
And they embellish it all with
a fine line of talk and flamboy-
ant prospectus that lands a sur
prising list Of suckers. IL
, keep off that sucker list.
Held to your bonds. -
That's the only way you can
get their value. ~F~EE~
You'll never get it from the
wolf, .---
