PIANO OR LIBERTY BONDS

Successful Business Woman < Bays She Cannot Buy Luxuries Until Victory Liberty Loan Is Triumphantly “Put Over.” “No, I haven’t bought my piano yet. I was just about to buy one when jthe first Liberty loan was announced, and make it. seem patriotic to spend for purely personal purposes the money that might also help the government I fe® just the same way about the second Liberty loan and the third and fourth, and of course I shan’t think of buying a piano now until the Victory loan has been triumphantly "put over.’ I couldn’t make it seem right” The speaker last year “wrote” over SIOO,OOO worth of life insurance business. This year she expects to attain a $200,000 total, having already $146,000 to her credit since last July, when the current “insurance club year” started. Oh, yes, she’s a real woman! Her name is Maud M. Freeman and she’s known to thousands of Chicago business men and women. She could have bought a piano several times over and still have done her duty by herself and her country in the way of buying Liberty bonds. But—her full duty, as this patriotic and successful citizen sees it, means helping on the work of the United States government in every possible way. She does her duty tn the way of War Savings stamps also, to say nothing of Thrift stamps. The latter she uses as tips when traveling, etc. Last

Christmas she used them, almost exclusively, for presents for children, young people, intimates. Next Christmas she plans to do the same,-while all through the year Thrift stamps will serve her, whenever possible, as “small change” or currency. ~ “No investment possibly could be so safe or so desirable as United States government securities," says the woman, generous income tax was paid cheerfully and without a murmur, because Tm so glad to have been able to earn so good an income.” HELP "FINISH THE JOB.* The money to be raised by the Victory Liberty loan already has been spent. It furnished the “punch” that won the war and saved the Uvea of 100000 of America’s bravest boys. It ts this übshed biood you are paying for when you subscribe to the Victory Liberty loan. , . The war is not over, and our duty to support our forces is not over until they are back home again. The Victory Liberty loan is to bring them back —to finish the Job. We are still the world’s Big Brother, stand back at the Victory toftAo . Lfw"-*
