PRIVILEGE; NOT REQUIREMENT

Some confusion has arise relative to the privilege granted to subscribers for one SSO Liberty bond or one SIOO bond the full amount at once, with the assurance of an immediate allotment in full and delivery of an interim certificate at the earliest possible moment. It should be clearly understood that this is a privilege and not a requirement The subscriber for one SSO bond or one SIOO bond may avail himself of this privilege of full payment, or he may pay 2 per cent upon application and the balance as provided for other bonds; that is, 18 per cent on June 28, 20 per cent on July 30, 30 per cent on August 15, and 30 per cent on August 30. The subscriber, therefore, for a SSO bond or a SIOO bond has the assured certainty of obtaining a bond either by the cash payment in full or the payment in the stated installments. Subscribers for larger amounts ’ will have to await the allotment when all the subscriptions are in and may not obtain the full amount of bonds subscribed for.
