Save OM hours for WAR CALLS ey0 4gy . . . and when you buy a Victory Bond, to help Bill, and other boys on active service, you do something that will benefit you too. You save money. It's really a mistake to say that you "buy" a Victory Bond. You are not buying anything. You are saving money, and putting your savings where they will be absolutely safe, and where they earn money for you. (Each $100.00 Victory Bond earns $3.00 a year-3% interest.) You are likely pro- ducing more, and earning more. You can save more. You are not buying some things; you can't get them. You are buying less of many things—they're rationed. You can't help saving more. See to it that your savings are kept intact—earmarked for things you will need when .the war ends. You will have to replace things that are worn out, You will want a lot of things. Money saved and invested in Victory Bonds will provide cash to pay for them. WHAT IS A VICTORY BOND? A VICTORY BOND is the promise of the Dominion of Canada to repay in cash the full face value of the Bond at the time stipulated, with half-yearly interest at the rate of 3% per annum until maturity. A Victory Bond is the safest investment in Canada. The entire resources of the Dominion stand behind it. Canada has been issuing bonds for 75 years, and has never failed to pay every dollar of principal and interest. A Victory Bond is an asset more readily converted into cash than any other security. You can buy Victory Bonds for cash in a lump sum, or you can arrange to pay for them in convenient instalments over a period of six months. Your Victory Bond salesman will be glad to tell you full particulars. 0 Nettkoilitno PiWitte aniMiike many radio transmitters, motorcycles and other Military equipment."
