NEW BRITAIN “AnLY FEQAID WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 10, 1917, TO AMERICANS OF FOREIGN BIRTH FELLOW CITIZENS: WE ARE AMERICANS BY CHOICE UR Traditions, our Institutions, our Government are Sacred to us. The Ubefly we came here to enjoy is menaced by a foreign enemy. We can help preserve it by buying Liberty Bonds. Your personal safety and that of pos- terity, your country’s honor and humanity as a whole, depend upon the success of this LIBERTY BOND issue by the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. In buying such a bond, you are be- coming a part owner of the United States. These Bonds are secured:— First—By one hundred and ten million people constituting the Government of the The above advertisement was inserted in the New York Sunday Times of October 7th over the signa- ture of the American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers, Inc. United States and all that these people as a Nation possess. Second.—They are an investment, safe, not speculative. ; Third.—They are an obligation of the United States, the strongest, the richest and most resourceful Nation on earth, and a mortgage on all it possesses. Fourth.—A Liberty Bond is in fact better than U. S. money, as it pays you 4 per cent. interest, while cash not invested earns nothing. P Fifth.—If you cannot shoulder a musket yourself, let your money fight for liberty. Sixth.—Every dollar invested in a Liber- ty Bond is so much help to a success- ful termination of the war. You can subscribe through any Bank‘. : or through your employer, wherever you are employed, either by paying cash or on the installment plan. One dollar a week pays for a $50.00 Bond—even the humblest worker can afford it. Every human being who earns money and who has money is to subscribe and to subscribe at at once, the greater number of subscriptions the sooner the war will be over, as this will prove to the world that we are all behind our President and the Government. We all have to do our duty-some in the trenches, some in the factories and mines, and some at other work of assistance to our . . Government. The way you can serve best is to buy a LIBERTY BOND. We feel that this appeal to Americans of foreign birth should come to the attention of forelgn born Americans in this city. We, therefore, reproduce and heartily endorse the subject matter in this advertise- ment. NEW BRITAIN NAT. BANK COMMERCIAL TRUST GO. NEW BRITAIN TRUST CO. k7 e
