COUNTER Counters for Finer Jewellery for Over Half a Century in Huron County The New Era Est. 1887 TIIE HOME PAPER We are asked to merely lend our dollars at 3% to back up our lads to "Speed the Victory" and to speed their safe return to then: loved ones. Folks, 'there's no comparison in the degree of sacrifice called for. Let us then buy this Fifth Victory Loan to the last possible dollar and uphold the proud tradition of this banner' County of Huron. The Why of the Victory Loan. Why are the people of Canada merchants, farmers, manufacturers,' wage-earners, everybody -being ask- ed to invest in war bonds? War always has been an expensive undertaking. Modern war, with its re- quirements of mechanized equipment for vast armies, is infinitely more expensive than wars of, the past. there are two main methods of Meet - this expense^taxes and borrowing. As we all know, taxes have already been increased until they have reach- ed what is considered the highest possible -peak. There remains borrow-' ing-and this is the reason for the successive Victory Loans. Borrowing can be a dangerous expedient -for the country as a whole as well as for an individual- and to maintain a sound financial structure for our country it is imperative that as large a proportion as possible of the necessary borrowings come from our own people, and be spread as widely' as possible among all our people. Up' to the present time Canada has made' an enviable record -one of the best, 1 if not the best in the world -in main- plan under which you pay down ten per cent of the amount of the bond and your bank will carry the remain- ing ninety per cent for six months at an interest rate of three per sent. As you get three per cent on your bond from the Govermnent during the same time you are not anything out of pec. ket;. in fact, you have something to the good especially if you can make further payments within the term of six months. Another instal'nient plan call for payments at the first of each month; and for farmers . or others whose money does not come in at re- gular intervals there is still another plan called the rural deferred pay- ment method. There may, be some special circumstances not covered by any one of these plans. Inthis case, you are advised to consult the loan canvasser or your banker, either of whom will explain how terms of pay- ment may be arranged to, meet your convenience. Remember 25 down will put you on the way to the owner- ship of a $50 bond.
