No one can predict what the world will be like after war is over. May­
be there will be great prosperity . . . . Maybe there will be a depression.
Some people say there will be both.
Whatever happens, it is each individual’s own responsibility to watch
out for the security and well-being of himself and his family . . . . and
there is no better way of doing this than by buying war bonds.
Bonds are safe, they are backed by the United States government itself.
Bonds are a good investment, they earn a higher rate of interest than
you can get in a savings bank account.
Bonds put aside money that can only be spent today for a few goods at
high prices for the time when there will be many 'goods vn sale at low
prices. The money you put in bonds today is worth much more in goods
tomorrow.
