DON’T SELL YOUR BOND

By HAROLD A. LAMB

of the * Your Liberty bond-—-whether it is for SSO or ss,ooo—is your savings. To sell it is to lose you? savings. The longer you keep your bond, the more valuable it is going to be. It does no good to Uncle Sam to subscribe to his loan, and then sell the amount of your subscription. Many of us have strained ourselves to buy the bonds, and necessity may force some of us to get the money back. But the way to do this is not to sell a bond. Dishonest sharpers will take your bonds and give you, say, SBO for the SIOO. If you must have money, go to a reliable bank or broker. They will lend you S9O on the SIOO, and the Interest on your bond will nearly pay the interest on the money they lend you. Then by paying the loan, you can have the bond back. Uncle Sam’s securities are making money for you while you hold them. Two years after the war ends they will be worth —It Is estimated —$110. If the war ends in three years or under you will then be receiving per cent —on the safest investment in the world!
