Victory ,Sends- AI
Reminder
This is not the first war in which
the farmers of Canada have been
asked tb• invest in Victory, Bonds.:
Back .in the boom days: at the end'
of the . First World War, many
'farmers invested .some of their
wartime earnings in Victory Bonds.
Later, they congratulated them-
selves on their farsightedness be-
cause it wasn't long after the war
until money became scarce.
During the First World War, it
seemed that high prices had come
to stay. Even after the armistice,
prices kept on advancing. Then
carne the beginning of hard, times:
prices for grains, fruits • and veg-
etables declined 50 ger cent £coni
1920 to 1921. In other words, where
a farmer producing any of these
crops got, say $100 in 1920, he re-
ceived only 560 , in 1921, 'And the
price of field, orchard 'and garden
crops continued to fall, picked, up
in 1926, then dropped drearily down-
ward until by 1932-theaeptiiii
(the depression -pit was only a quar-
ter of what it was in the boom year
of 1920.
Farmers may recall that in 1932
it took four times the quantity of
grain or of fruit or of vegetables
to give them as many dollars re
these products brought at the peak
of the wartime boom.
The farmers who weathered these
depression years the best were those
iwho had resources to tide them over.
And amotvg the best of those assets
were Victory Bonds, always good
_; then„ :as ;ecllaterai,.411.a note,, _ always.
convertible to cash as the Victory
,Bonds of this war are .today -and as
they will be until their maturity.
There is no better investment for
fanners than Victory Bonds.
