The warning came from Homer G. Bradney, administrator of the Illinois Veterans Commision, who pointed out that original NSLI policies are expiring every day and will continue to do so until December, 1953. Veterans holding such policies are nrged to renew their insurance for Generally spanking, a bank's credit requirements remain rather constant. Loans are made to individuals wljo pay their bills, have dependable earnings or income, and who are in sound financial condition. One variable factor, is whether or not the loan is economically sound--whether or not it is for an essential purpose that is good for the nation as well as for the borrower. m v . - • ' - • v - ! * .
