Tlie ir.ierest coupons of Liberty i-oan lioiuls are pay
it'le at any federal Reserve bank or siibtreasury and at
the Treasury 1 lepartment in Washington, and any Na
tional bank which is a general depositary of government
funds is required to cash these coupons without charge.
It is believed by the Treasury Department that no
hank or trust company which is a depositary uf the pro
ceeds of Liberty I'oiids or Treasury certificates of indebt
edness will make a charge for collecting the coupons, pay
ing cash to the holder. The service rendered by banking
institutions in cashing these inteorst coupons is a sub
stantial one, but it. is hoped that those depositaries will
perform the service without charge as ;i patriotic duty.
