"HOW CAN
I HELP?"
An Old-Time writer, Dryden, once said, "Behold the fury of a great Peaceful people."
f
That old lesson must be retaught. Uncle Sam is about to strike. The world will soo
feel the militant might of a great peaceful people. The kindly sympathetic uncle of tb
world will soon unloose his power in defense of human rights. We, the people of th
country, are behind him. His force will be our force. His ability to help mankind wi
be measured by our promptness in helping him.
How Can You help?
You Have a Chance T oday !
I ncle Sam ? the same Uncle Sam who for decades past has guard
ed over the happiness and prosperity whiih lu.ve stood :is models
to the world, now asks you to loan him money.
He cannot knock at the door of each of us. But his request for a
loan is just as personal, just as individual as it would he it he
rang your door bell tomorrow morning and personally said.
"Please lend me money."
The money that Uncle Sam borrows will go for food for your army
(and it must be fed); it will go for uniforms, ammunition and
equipment; it will go for ships and construction; it will go toward
putting a support behind our flag which will be worthy of the
stars and stripes upon it.
Every dollar of the money will go for something which, in Uncle
Sam's judgment, is necessary for your protection, or for human
welfare.
We are asked to loan money in amounts of $50, $100, $1,000 and
up. In return for each loan Uncle Sam will give us an I. O. U. ?
an engraved slip of paper called a Government Bond ? on which
he promises to pay back the loan, and to pay us in the meantime
interest of 1 per cent per year.
So high does the credit of Uncle Sam stand, that should you at
any time be pressed for funds, your bank will loan close to the full
umount which you loaned Uncle Sam.. You merely deposit Uncle
Sam's I. O. U.'s ? your Government Bonds ? as security.
If you feel that your Uncle Sam is worth a loan of $50 or more,
you can quickly arranee it by coming to your bank.
We are authorized to act. We are acting without profit to our
selves.
We will explain the payment of interest, or anything else in con
nection with the loan which you want to have explained.
We will conduct the whole transaction for you.
