WORKING OVERTIME

When a man works overtime It Ib because of some extreme necessity and usually not because he wants to. Nearly everyone realizes that working long hours constantly tn time will bring a physical breakdown. Therefore, everyone with good judgment strives to be a friend to his own body If for no other reason than that he may be able to continue to work and make a living. If you were suddenly to find some means of working 24 hours a day 365 days a year you would probably rush to Washington to take out a patent on the system. Have you stopped to think, however, tha| J there is a way of earning money 24 hours of the day which you may be neglecting? The one thing which will work overtime for you year in and year out without tiring is money placed at interest. Money “in boxes and soxes,” hoarded or hidden away, is imprisoned and cannot work. Moreover, it is in danger of being lost, stolen or destroyed by accident There are just two ways of putting such, money to work for your benefit One is to deposit it in a safe bank, where it will earn interest for you and be subject to your order. The other Is to invest it safely, where it will also earn interest for you. Just now the most desirable investment any one can make is in Liberty Loan bonds. You can buy them in any amounts from SSO up. They will earn you 414 per cent interest yearly. They always have a ready market and the security behind them is the best in the world. You have never doubted the safety of United States currency, whjch is simply the promise to pay of the government. United States government Liberty loan bonds are the promise to pay of the entire country, backed by all the wealth of all the states and territories, with the additional feature that they are always working overtime for you. If you w'ant a true and tried friend who w’ill never tire, who will work for you day and night without pay, and who will turn over his wages to you every six months, take your idle money to the bank today and buy United States Liberty loan 4*4 per cent bonds with it.
