Lest We Forget
One thing; the average American Citizen must remember in connection
with this Fifth Liberty Loan.
Those of us not in the capitalist class knew almost nothing about
bonds until the issuance of the Liberty Bonds. For thousands of people
it was their first experience in owning any sort of bond.
The Government has taught us Thrift, Shall we not stand by it in
this last of the Loans, especially as it is another step up for us?
But let us not forget in the years to come to put into practice what we
have learned. Let us remember that a savings account is a wonderful aid
to success; that a bank can help you to good investments, and that it is
always on the side of. the man who has learned the value of Tnnft.
