Friday Evening Will Boost f Bond Sales

Ypsilanti must buy more f
bonds!
Major emphasis during the close
Of the Sixth War Loan campaign
will be concentrated on small
bonds, according to the committee
which is headed by ID. NJ. Silk
worth. For the benefit of pur
chasers as well as for support of
men and women at the front. more
of these bonds must be purchased,
Mr.. Silkworth said today.
There is not even a specious
reason for hesitancy in f bond in
vestment. The cost is low and
dividends are high. For SIS turn
ed into the drive for early victory
now, the government will repay
500 at maturity, 10 years. In the
meantime f bonds are good for
cash, plus varying rates OF in
terest, according to length OF
time they are held, and in many
cases an f bond in hand for post
war emergencies will prove a val
liable convenience.
f bonds generously purchased
now will therefore serve a double
purpose. They will save lives and
help to avert postwar depression.
Incidentally they will earn good
dividends. The fact that the ma
ton as a whole has reported sales
totaling more than the national
quota for the Sixth War Loan is
good news, but it casts an unfav-
cradle cloud over Ypsilanti. as
well as other cities not yet over
the top. Ypsilanti has subscribed
its full quota and more in past
drives. Ypsilanti will meet its
quota in this drive. but to equal
past records the f bond sales must
advance more rapidly.
