September, 191: 



Keep lour 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 col- 

 lateral for a loan. There is no security the banker would rather have — noth- 

 ing 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 a provision 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.
