Let us take the case of the man who has $500 in the bank, he says he is going to use the $500 to buy feed and cannot buy Victory Bonds. There are, however, two ways open where this man could stili purchase his bond. ln the first instance ho could -buy a $500 bond for cash and then use the $500 bond as collateral for a loan at the bank in order that he could buy his feed. ln this connection, there would be no charge to him as the interest on the bond at 3 per cent would pay for the interest on his loan, which also is 3 per cent for the first six months, then when the stock is sold in the near future, he could use the proceeds to pay off his bank boan, and he would stili have the $500 bond. An alternate way of handling this situation would be to use the deferred payment method by which he would sign an application for $500 bond and make an initial pay- ment of 10 per cent. There would thon b. no payments due for six months and in the above case, there would be no charges as tho rate of interest on the boan is 3 per cent which is the same rate as the bond pays. Some people'may say that they would rather not buy now but wiII invost in the next Victory Loan when it cornes along. They should keap in mind, however, that the coat of the war must be met as we go along. Yours truly, E. A. SUMMERS, This space donated to Vitory Loan Campaign F. F.
