But many people go along, their eyes on the skies, on the ground, or unseeing In dreamland,, never noticing that they are advancing on the wrong highway. Do you know which road yon are traveling? Here are the signposts. The end of one will find yon empty-handed. The end of the other will find you with funds for a sunny opportunity—with War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds working for you at over 4 per cent Interest.
