IN MANY WAYS BETTER THAN Managing a farm is in many ways similar to managing any other business. That is why reserve savings in liquid form are so helpful to a farmer. Victory Bonds provide the handiest form in which savings can be kept with safety. Their security is without question. They represent money owing to you by the Dominion of Canada, just as dollar bills do. And... better than dollar bills . . . they earn interest for you every day you hold them; even when put away for safe keeping in a bank vault or in a safe. They pay double bank interest. You can get cash for Victory Bonds if you need cash in an emergency. Any bank will buy them from you. You can borrow on them, without any formality. Simply take them to any bank and get the loan you need. The interest the bonds earn pays a large part of the bank interest on the loan. So, realize this fact, Victory Bonds are better than cash because they earn interest. Buy Victory Bonds to have cash where you need it, when you may need it. Buy Victory Bonds to help maintain your country's war effort. VICTORY BONDS ;^8th VICTORY LOAN OPENS APRIL 23rd. SUMMATIONAL WAK FINANCE COMMITTEE
