By J. F. IICTCIIASOX. As dhainnan of the publicity committee for the Victory Liberty Loan in Salem I wish to call to your mind a number of things which must be borne in mind. I hope you will read and uunjc care fully of every word in this article. ? - Salem Is Over the Top. The) four banks of Salem have subscribed ot guaranteed the sale of the full quota for the city. As f at: as we can learn Salem (that sleepy, moss-back town, erstwhile known as the Capital city) was the first city in the United States to go over the top in this Victory Loan.

Do not think that because the banks hare guaranteed this Victory loari that there is nothing; left to do. All citizens who have from $50 to 850,000 to invest should deem It a pleasure to go to his or her bank and subscribe to the full extent of their abillfy. The bank have put Salem over the top, but YOU, Mr. or Mrs. CITIZEN are expected to call and make your . subscription just the same. You will be proud to walk in to your bank and make that subscrip tions You. will be proud to know thatiyon live In the grand old Unit ed States where Uncle Sammy pays his debts.

The banks simply guaranteed the sale of the bonds and that he is at liberty to buy, all the bonds he wants. All he has' to do is to call at any one of the four banks and place his sub scription.. Victory bonds mnst be a mighty good investment. . In fact ft is the best Investment rou can make. You kill two birds with one stone. You show your patriotism and make a gilt edge Investment at the same time. j "If a man or a dog has n. yellow streak he will show it sooner or later.
