It seems to me that emphasis can be constantly put upon the fact that there will be a great need for money in the hands of the individual to cushion the ieadjustment period that will come after this war, and War Bonds, that ar’ really savings and Investments, seem to be the big answer. Farmers will need money to cene* their equipment on their farms, workmen will need money to readjust :hem-selvt s from war time employment to peace time employment and to maintain their homes and their families, businessmen will require a cushion and capital to re-establish their businesses; a security of War Bond investments then lust as th., armed forces need the mon- “ " "^ce ey these bonds represent now to complete ’lie job they have so magnificently begun, I hope every citizen can invest in War Bonds to his greatest possible ability.
