DON'T DISCOUNT YOUR
DOLLARS NOW-WAIT
"Make your dollars buy a dollar's
worth" is a wise slogan for the
fourth Liberty loan.
Bankers and economists point out
that soon after the close of the war,
and long before any of the present
issues of war bonds have matured, a
dollar's worth of goods, at pre-war
prices, will again be purchaseable for
one dollar. They now cost $1.60 and
may cost more before the war ends.
Dollars put away until the close of
the war by the purchase of Libertv
Bonds will multiply not only by their
added buying power at that time, but
by the increased value of all govern
ment securities. Liberty Bonds of
the first issue, bearing omy Z per
cent, are already quoted above par
on the open market. It is obvious
that a $100 Liberty Bond bearing 4 14
per cent interest, will be salable for
more than $100 as the time of re
demption approaches.
Frank B. Anderson, San Francisco
banker and vice-chairman of the
general Executive board of the twelfth
federal reserve district, brings out
also that every-dollar saved today
and invested in government bonds
aids in keeping prices down. He
says:
"Every dollar that is spent is a de
mand on labor and is competing with
the government for labor and the
product that it needs and must have
to carry on the war to an early end.
lo the extent that the govern
ment fails to secure the labor and
the products to carry out its program,
to that extent the end is delayed. '
"Present prices are caused by the
population competing with the gov
ernment. The government cannot
and must not refrain from buying.
The people MUST! There is not
enough production for both.
"You feel ashamed under ordinary
circumstances to pay $1.00 for some
thing you know is worth only a dol
lar. Why not go without it and save
your money for the time when the
normal purchasing power of a dollar
has been restored?
"You may be able to afford to
help run prices up, but is it patriotic
or is it common sense?"
"Let your dollars fight" is good.
"MAKE 'EM FIGHT" is better.
CAN TRADE SECOND ISSUE
BONDS FOR THIRD ISSUE
The treasury department again
reminds holders of four per cent
Liberty Loan bonds that these secur
ities are convertible into 4'4 per cent
bonds of the Third Liberty Loan, and
extends a warning that this privilege
lapses November 9 and cannot bo re
newed.
A statement issued over the signa
ture of Secretary McAdoo says:
"Holders of these 4 per cent bonds
lose nothing by exercising the privi
lege of conversion and gain Vi, per
cent interest per annum. Holders of
4 per cent bonds should not wait un
til the last moment to exercise the
privilege of conversion but proceed
to do so promptly. Delay will re
sult in overburdening the banking In
stitutions of the country and the
treasury department by making it
necessary to handle all conversions
at the last moment, and may result
in the loss of the privilege of con
version altogether.
"Holders of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to request issue of
registered bonds in order to protect
themselves against the risk of loss,
theft and destruction of their bonds.
"Official Department Circular No.
114, with forms of application, has
been distributed tto Federal Reserve
Banks and banks and trust compan
ies throughout the United States.
These institutions are, as a matter of
patriotic service, to assist bond
holders in exchanging 4 per cent
bonds for 4 per cent bonds and in
registering their bonds."
