scribed or guaranteed the sale of the
ful quota for the city. As far as we can
learn Salem Chat sleepy, mossback
town, erstwhile known as the capital
city) was the first city in the United
States to go over the top in this Victory
loan.
What This Means,
II means that business will 90 on un-
interrupted That the business men will
not have to make canvass and spend
weary days away from business in order
TO induce the people of Salem TO buy
bonds. That there is great prosperity
in our city which has enabled the banks
TO mdcrwrite this loan-that the people
have already saved the money and have
it on deposit in the banks where every
dollar that is not working should be
kept so that it will help the eommun-
lity to grow through the efforts Of mod
crn banking. 1t means that people can
90 about their many lines Of enoeavor
with the positive assurance that they
do not have to skimp to buy bonds this
/ time and that they will not have to un-
der~o the ordeal of facing the deter
mined soliciting committees. That Sa-
lem has arisen from what WAS Known
as the solwest town on the Pacific coast
to the leading city iS the United States
when il comes to doing "big" things.
Give Banks Credit.
The banks Of Salem have rendered
this city service that cannot be valued
in dollars and cents. Every business
man in Salem has been saved times and
money because the banks made solicit
/ ing unnecessary. 1t shows that our
/ banks have the business interests at
heart and stand ready at all times to do
what is right to make Salem the fore
most city on the coast. 1t shows that
Salem banks are run by real bankers
Men who would be a credit to city
many times the size Of Salem, in fact
to any city in the world.
] Duty Yet to Perform.
Don't think that because the banks
have guaranteed this Victory loan that
there is nothing left to do. Every eiti
zen who has from $50 to $JO,UvU 10 III
vest should deem it a pleasure to go tC
his Or her bank and subscribe to tn,
full extent of their ability. The bank
have put Salem over the top, but yot
Mr.. Or Mrs. Citizen are expected t
call and make your subscription JUS
the same. You will be proud to wall
into your bank and make that subserip
tion. You will be proud to know tina
you live in the grand old United State
where Uncle Sammy pays his debts. 81
you have a duty yet to performs
have heard many business men stat
that they would gladly give $2j if thel
could get out of soliciting. Put So!
with it Mr. Businessman and buy thG
bond and as many more as you car
Monday. Don't do like one tight auto
mobile, dealer did. When he learned tina
his bank had released him from solicit
ing by joining in underwriting th
bonds he telephoned the paper to can
eel his special advertising. If / wer
