Why Banks
Sell Defense Bonds
Without
Compensation
or Profit
DO you realize that for the billions of dol
lars of Defense Bonds sold by banks not
one cent of compensation has been paid to
them? Banks have spent large sums to ad
vertise and sell the Bonds. Yet they receive
no fees, no commissions. That is as it should
be. That is how the banks want it. Banks place
their country’s interest first. They do not wish
to be paid for rendering a service which
every loyal banker deems a patriotic duty
and a privilege. We urge you to buy Bonds.
