(° into any of the undersigned banks and ask for the Liberty Loan Department. Maybe your are used to borrowing money at your bank. Maybe you are a depositor at a bank but have never borrowed money. Maybe you have never been in a bank before. Whatever your experience has been, remember that these are war times and that banks are a vital part of the nation’s war machinery. . The Government needs not only the cash you have in your pocket and in the bank today, but it needs to use today the money you are going to earn tomorrow, ~ next month and the month after, until the war is won. Here is where the bank comes in. Suppose you have bought all the bonds you can for cash and you want to buy more. You go into any bank or trust company, sign an application for as many bonds as you think you can pay for during the next six months, and make a small partial payment. The bank will then buy the bonds for you. You will own them and the Government will pay 4 1-4 per cent interest on all bonds you apply for. THE UNDERSIGNED BANKS PLEDGE THEM- SELVES to assist clients in purchasing Liberty Bonds and to make loans freely on bonds subscribed through them in order that each possible subscriber, even though without funds now available, may make an adequate subscription. Such loans will not restrict the subscribers’ regular line of credit. Citizens having funds available in their savings ac- counts can borrow up to $500.00 for the purchase of Liberty Bonds at 41-4 per cent until the next in- Z it National Bank Bank of Commerce Horton National Bank Horton Trust & Savings Bank ii Seattle National Bank Scandinavian The Bank of California Canadian terest payment date at the bank, which is exactly the same rate as the Government pays you. Thus you lend your credit to your Government and contribute to the winning of the war. j After you have borrowed to buy your bonds the Government asks you to save to pay off the loan as soon as you can so as to be free to buy more bonds and to release for other war uses the money which the bank has tied up in purchasing the bonds for you. When you have paid off your loan the bank turns over. your bonds to you, and you have not only com- pleted your substantial service to the Government in helping to back up our men in France, but you have also taken another step toward personal independence based on the safest security, in the world. Following are the three different plans under which you can purchase Liberty Bonds: Plan No. 1—Payment in full must accompany sub- scription. Plan No. 2—Ten per cent down; balance as follows: 20 per cent November 21, 20 per cent December 19, 20 per cent January 16 and 30 per cent January 30, 1919. ' Plan No. 3—Ten per cent down; balance as follows: 10 per cent October 28, 20 per cent November 28 and 20 per cent on or before the 28th of each succeeding month until the full amount is paid.
