How We’re Going to Help Uncle Sam
Put More Money Into Hermiston
(Explaining the use of the “Trade Acceptance” in plain terms)
In order to put more money in circulation throughout the
country Uncle Sam has created the Federal Reserve Banks.
Here’s How It Is Done
Suppose John Doe has purchased merchandise to the extent of
$10 from Richard Roe & Co. and desires credit on same longer—
for 60 days.
The banks have furnished a “Trade Acceptance” which looks
like this.

Mr. Roe then takes this Trade Acceptance to his local bank
who sends it in to the Federal Reserve Bank nearest and this
money is then credited back to the local bank for FURTHER
CIRCULATION IN HERMISTON.
The Trade Acceptanoe has been recommended by Uncle Sam
in these war times. We feel that it is a patriotic duty to use this
form of extension of credit at this time and thus HELP UNCLE
SAM PUT MORE MONEY INTO HERMISTON.

glad to explain.

Mr. Customer
Are you going to do any
building or repair work this fall?
Are you going to build a
new barn, machine shed or root
cellar?
Farm machinery is too costly to be al
lowed to remained out in the weather,
while for a medium cost a good shed could
be built to protect it from the elements.
Proper shelter for the live stock soves feed
and is true economy. Feed used by the
animals to make heat can’t put on flesh at
the same time.
We must not let buildings go to rack
and ruin because the country is at war, on
the contrary the call is for economy and con-
sex servation through timely repairs.
Come in and see us.
