Keep lour Liberty Bonds 
JJ[OLD 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 iured 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 invest- 
ment 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.
