"FINISH THE JOB"
A Series of Talks on the Victory Liberty Loan by Prominent Bankers.
By A. M. Chreitiberg, President First National Bank, Spartanburg, S. C.
The world war is won. Righteousness is in the saddle. Liberty is
oiiehiuifpd the oppressed. Our own land is saved the iron heel of the
monstrous Hun. Our wives and children ami old men are unharmed.
America by throwing into the conflict generously and unselfishly all
her resources and her manhood was largely instrumental in bringing
this awful crisis to an end. N ith one a. cord we glory in tins, but the
War must fce paid for.
We can pay with only two things, money m- credit. Wo a ily
obtain thette vital mediums through taxation or lionds and both. Those
joust be forthcoming, and NOW.
If by taxation, you will never again see your full initials on the
lollam you give . Your cash is kissed good bye. You will see again
only the smallest portion of the profit yon made selling your wares to
our government. If by bonds, you are lending your funds to yourself
and others just as good, and besides yon get interest for your money,
and the same profit for goods sold. By this route you take cash out of
one poeket and you put more into the other. You lend and yet still
possess.
The business wheel will turn faster, surer and truer. You will get
yours as it spins, or the other fellow will. Prices must fall. Then the
dollar will advance in value, and also that whieh represents the safest
dollar, too. will appreciate. It's a Victory Liberty Loan Bond. Good
Business? Yes. Go to'it. America. I 'at riot ism must pay or in shame
and hollow moekery parade her bones to the world.
(die of the giant Anieucan tanks that
did effective duty on the western front
during tlie world war will U' -eon in Gas
tonia on Saturday of this week. The
tank will arrive in the city t-'riday night
from Charlotte and will lie the guest of
the Victory loan enthusiast t urnughout
the day of May :'.rd.
Advance information is to the effect
that thin tank is a battle scarfed machine,
having on its armored sides the minks
of many Hun bullets. This tank pre
sents a silent hut impressive argument.
Since General Byng first ordered his
tanks "over the top" at t'amlirai where
they did much effeeteive work for the
cause of the Allies, these caterpillar -footed
monsters have lieen the cause of no
jil'le comment by the American people.
It is useless I.. m;i that the fiiHonirt
people will turn out on ma-ie to witness
the ile istration. The tank is lieing
brought to Gastonia for the purpose of
I'ertboi ii g the s;de of Victoiy loan lionds
and aside from having its effects along
this line will he tl ans of showing
the l.ii a! citizen- one of America'- most
effective war machines.
I'.il. 1'. I!. Armstrong, chaii man of the
i.-tiuv loan campaign in Caston eonnly,
jias placed the tank demonstration in the
hands of a veteiflti of the war. Major A.
1.. ISiilwinkle. who saw hi- share of ur
tie fighting while with the I loth field
Arlillerv in Fr'iu.o and Belgium. Mr.
Bui winkle promises the Ga-touia people
that the tank will give an excellent ac
count of itself while here.
After the demonstration heie the tank
will in' -hipped to Lincolnton
