Grandma Hoskins knows a lot
about history but when we
asked her where the first brew
ery was built in America, she
wouldn't take sides.
"You see," says Grandma,
"wherever the colonists settled,
one of the first things they
thought about was food and beer
... In fact, one reason why the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
Rock was because the Mayflow
er was runnin' short of beer."
Well, that was a. new one on
us, but Grandma showed it to us
--just as it was written in the
Mayflower's log.
And it seems that all through
our early American history beer
sort of tempered the hardships
and helped to make us a toler
ant, moderate people.
From where I sit, beer is the
American drink of moderation
and friendliness-kind of a sym
bol of our personal liberty.

F we should lose the war, life would not
be worth living.
fBut we won't lose it," you may say.
Listen, brother in this world nothing's
sure, unless you make it so.
This month it's up to us here at home to
do our part, and then some, to make Victory
surer and quicker! To do it, we've got to
lend Uncle Sam 13 billion extra dollars;
It isn't easy but war isn't easy and Vic
tory isn't cheap; It takes money and more
money to buy planes, ships, tanks, guns
and a million other things our boys must
have to deliver that final, paralyzing knock
out punch;
And it's a whale of a lot easier for us at
home to lend our money than for our boys
to fight through the hardships and dangers
of deserts, swamps, jungles, ice-fields and
sub-Infested seasl
Just think! Every extra bond you buy will
help provide the weapons to save the lives
of many American boys! Isn't that alone
worth every effort, every economy you can
make? You bet it is!
There are 7 types of U; S. Government
securities to meet the needs of every purse;
They offer the finest investment in the world
liberal interest, plus securities guaranteed
by Uncle Sam himself;
A volunteer worker for the 2nd War Loan
Drive may visit you soon. Welcome this
unselfish patrolt and buy all the bonds
you can; But don't wait for that call. Go
today to your bank, investment dealer,
broker, post office or bond booth and invest
to your uttermost limit; Even if it hurts, it's
nothing compared to the agonizing impact
of a bayonet thrust, a flesh-tearing torpedo
fragment or a bone-crushing bullet;
So dig deep, brother, and do it NOW!
