They will have new ideas they want to try out. They may want to go in for new breeding stock; new crops; work out a drainage or irrigation project; do a big job of fertilizing. You are wearing out implements and equipment which cannot be replaced now. You may want to erect new buildings, or to add to present buildings. You may wish to modernize your farm with water or electricity. You may want a new motor car—new conveniences and comforts for your home. These things cost money. Save money now and invest your savings in Victory Bonds. They will provide cash for things you will need when the war ends. 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. 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.
