Second Liberty Loan
L
OOSEN your purse strings, sons and daughters of Columbia,
and take the bonds of the Second Liberty Loan.' Buy them
till the pinch of buying brings to your heart the glow of a good
investment made and a good deed done. Buy U. S. Govern-
ment Liberty Bonds. If you have one, buy another, and sell two
more bonds to two other good Americans.
i i Bonds are your answer, our answer, the one answer we, as an undivided people,
loyal to the cause of human rights, can make to the World War.
The eyes and ears of the world are strained for our answer. The eyes and ears of
our enemy, more eagerly than the eyes and ears of our allies.
Strike the answer home that there may be no doubt of the
answer.
■ < „9ur manhood answers as our boys go to the firing line; our farmers answer
in food for our fighting men; our manufacturers answer in shoes and uniforms, gas masks biff truns little truns Dowder shot and
shell; our sh.p-yards in food ships and fighting ships. But they speak the answers of indiviH Thefor
our whole people. Let our answer tell fnend and foe, that we know we are fighting forhuman rights""! sta^d beCd our
demand:
The World Must Be Made Safe for Democracy"
Put every dollar you can spare into a
Liberty Bond. Never before could your dollar buy so much.
It buys safety for your country, your homes and your children,
now and for years to come. It buys life and liberty without
taking a cent away from you. It' fights for us, and pays for
the privilege of fighting. It fulfills a duty which has the com-
bined rewards of a good deed and a good investment.
For the Second Liberty Loan is the best
investment in the world today. A Liberty Bond is money
which pays you a 4 per cent, income, and is only semi-taxable.
Always safe as gold, always worth its face value, every Liberty
Bond, with the end of the war, is sure to be held at a premium.
You men and women with a few dollars
to invest can put them to fighting for your homes at the same
time bring you an income.
You may buy Liberty Bonds as small as
$50 and pay for them by instalments.
Go to the nearest bank, the nearest post
office, the nearest department store, or send to the United
States Department for a Liberty Bond.
Other lands of Democracy are making
their fight and sacrifices for Democracy.
The hour of America s opportunity and privilege
strikes. Lend your utmost to your government. Buy her
Bonds. Buy, and in buving strike our answer home, that the
world may know beyond a doubt that America's War Answer,
"Makes the World Safe for Democracy."
