The entire machinery of the Ninth
District War Savings Organization is
being set in motion in a united effort
to increase sales of the new $100 and
$1,000 treasury savings certificates
That every county has scores of resi-
dents who would buy these govern

spared to bring that knowledge to
every possible buyer is the statement
of M. E. Harrison, district director OF
the organization.
1--WE are confident lasting demand
for Government securities has been
created in this district and we intend
doing everything possible to foster and
supply that" Mr. Harrison said. 1--WE
want investors to have government
bonds, notes and certificates on the
lists Of securities which they habitual-
ly buy. The Treasury Savings Certifi
Gates are to be issued continuously
hereafter. 1t Is vital that the public
be thoroughly acquainted with their
terms and advantages"

receives his interest in advance thru
an equivalent reduction in price, are

pounded quarterly, giving yield of
4ss per cent to the man who holds
them during the entire period of their
life.

sources and the full taxing power of
the United States government the
certificates are 100 per cent safe. In

such that the price increases monthly

there a perfectly safe investment,
from which one may withdraw ones
money on 10 days notice, that pays

other security in the world is so easily
available as treasury savings certifi.
