Keep Your Liberty Bonds 



HOLD to that bond. You invested to help send the 

 boys across. They are over now, at grips with the 

 German monster. You expect them to hold on — hold 

 on till the last vestige of autocracy is crushed out of 

 him. Then you, too, must hold on — must keep your 

 enlisted dollars invested on the fighting line. 



It isn't the hooray of a campaign that wins a war. It's the will 

 to hang on, to make sacrifice today, that tomorrow may bring victory. 



And your investment. Those bonds are the safest investment you 

 ever made. Don' t be lured into exchanging them for the ' 'securities' ' 

 of some suave get-rich-quick operator. Big returns may be promised, 

 but the bigger the promised returns the bigger the risk. 



If you have to have money, take your bond to any bank and use 

 it as collateral for a loan. There is no security the banker would 

 rather have— nothing on which he will lend more willingly. 



Don't use bonds to buy merchandise. The average merchant, 

 accepting your bonds in trade, sells them immediately, thus tending 

 to lower their market price and taking away from the buyer of your 

 bonds the ability to lend a corresponding amount of money to his 

 Government. Liberty Bonds are meant to help your country at War; 

 are meant for investment and to provide an incentive for saving and 

 an income for the rainy day. 



Hold fast to your Liberty Bonds. Hold fast for the sake of the 

 boys "Over There". Hold fast because it is good business.
