HOLDING BONDS IS THRIFT.
Selling Liberty Issues for Less Than
They Arc Worth Is the Height
Of Folly.

Two things are true when Liberty
Bond changes hands for less than the
highest market price. One person is
selling something for less than its
value; another person is lucky in strik-
ing . bargain; one is chump, the
other II fortunate.
You may argue the one is forced to
sell. Possibly true, but his banker will
lend him nearly the amount of his in.
vested capital on his bond, or will show
him way to get the highest possible
value.
The record Of the sale and purchase
Of Liberty Bonds shows one thing
plainly, that virtually all the Liberty
Bonds that are sold are finding their
way into the hands Of thrifty persons
who realize that the bonds are selling
for less than their real value. These
purchasers will hold the bonds until
maturity when they will be at par, and
undoubtedly at considerably shove par
in narly every case.
II there is more decided example
Of thrift than this, the Treasury Depart
ment ut Washington would like to
k1pw oS It.
